The inspection 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 s
39、hall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplles 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 req
40、uirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to accept defective material. 4.1.2 Responsibility for dimensional requirements. Unless otherwise speci- fied in the contract or purchase order, the contr
41、actor is responsible for ensuring that all specified dimensions have been met. When dimensions cannot be examined on the end item, inspection shall be made at any point, or at all points in the manufacturing process necessary to assure compliance with all dimensional requirements. 4.1.3 Certificates
42、 of compliance. When certificates of compliance are sub- mitted, the Government reserves the right to inspect such items to determine the validity of the certification. 4.2 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows: a. First article inspect
43、ion (see 4.3). b. Quality conformance inspection (see 4.4). 4.3 First article inspection.
