Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), an inspection lot shall consist of all wire of the same Part or Identifying Number (PIN), produced under essentially the same conditions on the same machin

31、e, that is presented for inspection and shipment at one time. 4.2.2 Unit of product.

After the corrective action has been taken, group B or C inspection shall be repeated on the replacement articles. (This includes all tests and examinations, or only the

40、test that the original sample failed, at the option of the cognizant inspection activity). Group A inspection may be re-instituted; however, final acceptance and shipment shall be withheld until group B or C inspection has shown that the corrective was successful.
