48、.4) are acceptance tests and shall be performed on each lot. 4.2.2 Preproduction Tests All technical requirements are preproduction tests and shall be performed prior to or on the first-article shipment of core by the manufacturer, when a change in ingredients and/or processing requires reapproval a
49、s in 4.4.2, and when purchaser deems confirmatory testing to be required. 4.3 Sampling and Testing Shall be in accordance with the following: 4.3.1 For Acceptance Tests Each block or 2% of the slices from each lot shall be sampled at random to provide sufficient core to perform all required tests. The number of determinations for each requirement shall be as specified in the applicable test procedure or, if
