Unless otherwise specified in the contract or pur- chase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection require- ments (examinations and
20、 tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right t
21、o 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. All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The inspection set forth in
22、 this specification shall become a part of the contrac- tors overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection require- ments in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government fo
23、r 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 submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it co
24、mmit the Government to accept defective material. 4.1.2 Qbjective evidence. The contractor shall provide objective evidence acceptable to the contracting officer that the requirements of 3.1, 3.2, and section 5 for which spe- cific inspection has not been provided in this specification have been sat
