18、 the Qualified Products List does not guarantee the acceptance of the tires in any future procurement nor constitute waiver of the requirements of this specification. The cost for performing qualifications or requalifications tests shall be wholly borne by the applicant. Tires, tubes, and flaps shal
19、l be supplied for testing at no cost to the Government. For Style X Tires, Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 will be tested. Qualification will be extendec* to other classes of tires in the same group which are of equal or higher quality level of construction and materials as certified by the manufacture
20、r. For Style Y Tires, qualification of a particular retreaders process which the retreaders quality is clearly established will be extended to other tire models retreaded by the same process, of the same group and type having equal or better compound as certified by the ret reade r . For both Style
21、tires, qualification may be extended to a tube-type brand or model, provided it is of equivalent construction (design and materials), with the exception of the bead, to the tubeless model qualified. Using this same provision, the tube-type shall qualify the tubeless model or brand. For Style X tires
22、, qualification may be extended to other manufacturers production points of a particular group provided the standards and methods of quality control are equivalent at each point of manufacture. The brand or model must be of equivalent compounds and construction from both locations. For Style Y, qual
23、ification may be extended to other retreading facilities for a particular manufacturers process provided the manufacturer certifies that the retreading process and quality control procedures are identical at the additional facilities. 4 Licensed by Information Handling ServicesS 9999974 0148446 526
