31、 formation.-The term irlotli as used throughout this specification refers to an inspection lot, which is defined .as an essentially homogeneous collection of units of product from which a representative sample is drawn and inspected to determine conformance of the lot with applicable requirements. T
32、he sample selected shall represent only that quantity of units from which the sample was drawn and shall not be construed to represent any prior or subsequent quantities presented for inspection. Homogeneity shall be considered to exist provided the lot has been produced by one manufacturer, in one
33、unchanged process using the same materials and methods, in accordance with the same drawings, same drawing revisions, same specifications and same specification revisions. Changes to the process, specifications, or drawings, not affecting safety, performance, interchangeability, or storage, as deter
34、mined by the Government, shall not be deemed to alter the homogeneity of the lot. In- spection lots shall comply with MIL-STD-105. Unless otherwise approved by the contracting officer, the inspection lot size of end items deliverable under the contract shall be not less than the smallest weekly esti
35、mate of quantities contractually scheduled for production during the contract period nor more than the largest monthly quantity contractually scheduled for delivery during the contract period. Inspection lots of components or subassemblies, other than the items of,delivery, shall be homogeneous and
36、of a size mutually convenient to both the contractor and the Government inspector. Lot numbering, as required, shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-1168. Each lot of pellets shall be prepared using individual ingredients from one manufacturer and shall contain the same proportion of ingredients. 4.3.
