QUALITY ASSURANC,E PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contract
40、or is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements (examinations and tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use hi6 own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements speci
41、fied herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in this specification where such inspections-are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. 4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance.
42、All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The inspections set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractors overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the resp
43、onsibility 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
44、 submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to accept defective material.
