All non-conforming cartridges shall be rejected. b. Critical defects. Unless otherwise specified,
30、one hundred percent examination shall be performed for all critical defects. If a visual critical defect is found in a sample either just prior to a firing test or after a firing test (and defect is not due to firing) the lot shall be rejected. The lot shall then be rescreened and resubmitted for vi
31、sual inspection of critical portion of the lot that has been packed or is in the process of being packed shall be rejected. In addition, the portion of the lot remaining to be packed shall be rejected. The lot shall then be rescreened and resubmitted for visual inspection of critical defects . defec
