4.1.1  Responsibility for compliance.  All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5.  The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractor's overall inspection system or quality program.  The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract.  Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is an acceptable practice to ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective

material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to accept defective material.

4.2  Classification of inspections.  The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows:

a.         First article inspection (see 3.1 and 6.2)

b.         Quality conformance inspection (see 4.3).

4.2.1  First article inspection.  Unless otherwise specified in the contractual document (see 6.2), a sample consisting of not less than 10 lbs.  of the material, manufactured under the same conditions as those specified for subsequent production, shall be subjected to first article inspection.

Accomplishment of first article inspection shall be as specified herein.  If the first article sample does not meet the requirements of this specification, it shall be rejected. Subsequent units shall not be considered for acceptance until Government approval of the first article sample has been obtained.  Testing of the first article sample, to determine compliance with the characteristics listed in Table IV shall be in accordance with the corresponding test paragraphs.

TABLE  IV.   First article inspection.

4.3  Quality conformance inspection.

4.3.1  Sampling for quality conformance inspection.  Sampling for quality conformance inspection shall be conducted on a random sample selected from each production lot in accordance with Table V.
