The grommets and snap fasteners shall be clinched without distortion, damage, splitting, or cutting of the cloth, webbing, or tape, as applicable. The metal components shall not be misaligned, nor shall they contain any sharp edge, crack,
20、 dent, burr, nick, or sliver. The carrying cases shall not contain any nonspecified hole, abraded area, tear, cut, mend, needle chew, spot, or stain. The carrying cases and components, furnished under this specification, shall conform to the quality and grade of the product as set forth in the speci
21、fication. The occurrence of defects shall not exceed the acceptance criteria established herein. 4. VERIFICATION. 4.1 Classification of inspection. The examination and testing of the assemblies shall be classified as follows: (a) First article inspection. First article inspection consists of examina
22、tions and tests performed on samples which are representative of the production item after award of a contract to determine that the production item conforms to the requirement of this specification (see 3.1, 4.2, 4.2.1, and 4.2.1.1). (b) Conformance inspection. Conformance inspection consists of ex
23、aminations and tests performed on individual products or lots to determine conformance of the products or lots with the requirements set forth in this specification (see 4.3 through 4.3.1.2). 4.2 First article inspection. The first article inspection of the carrying case assemblies shall consist of
24、all the examination and tests for all the requirements of this specification. 4.2.1 First article samples. Unless otherwise specified, as soon as practicable after the award of the contract or order, the manufacturer shall submit two carrying case assemblies of the type specified in the contract or
25、order. The samples shall be representative of the construction, workmanship, components, and materials to be used during production. When a contractor is in continuous production of the type specified, from contract to contract, submission of additional first article samples on the new contract may
26、be waived at the discretion of the procuring activity (see 6.2). Approval of the first article inspection samples or the waiving of the first article inspection does not preclude the requirements for performing the conformance inspection. The first article inspection samples shall be furnished to th
27、e Government as directed by the contracting officer (see 6.2). Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MILDTL85361A 6 4.2.1.1 First article sample disposition. Upon completion of the first article inspection, recommendations and comments pert
28、inent for use in monitoring production will be forwarded by the Government activity responsible for the inspection program (see 6.2) to the contracting officer. One of the approved first article samples will be returned to the manufacturer for reference in monitoring production. The other sample wil
29、l be consumed or destroyed in the inspection program, and shall not be considered as a part of the quantity to be delivered under the contract. 4.3 Conformance inspection. The sampling and inspection levels shall conform to ASQ Z1.4. The conformance inspection shall consist of the following: Pull ca
30、ble assembly strength of attachment and permanent set Visual examination of the carrying case assemblies Dimensional examination of the carrying case assemblies 4.3.1 Sampling. 4.3.1.1 Inspection lot. 4.3.1.1.1 Carrying case assembly. An inspection lot size shall be expressed in units of one carryin
31、g case assembly and components of one type made essentially under the same conditions and from the same materials. The sample unit shall be one carrying case assembly and components of one specific type. 4.3.1.1.2 Adhesive. An inspection lot shall be expressed in units of one batch of adhesive. An i
32、nspection lot shall consist of all the batches of the adhesive used by the manufacturer during one days production of the carrying case assemblies (see 3.4.2). The sample unit shall be one batch of the adhesive used during one days production of the carrying case assemblies. 4.3.1.2 Sampling for exa
33、minations and tests of the carrying case assemblies and components. The sample size, examinations and tests required for the carrying case assemblies and components shall be as specified in Table 1. However, the Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) shall be as specified in the contract. 4.4 Inspection met
34、hods. 4.4.1 Visual examination. Each carrying case assembly, including components, shall be visually examined for conformance to the requirements of paragraph 3.7. 4.4.2 Dimensional examination. Each carrying case assembly including components, shall be dimensionally checked for conformance to the r
35、equirements of paragraph 3.8. 4.5 Performance. 4.5.1 Strength of attachment of the pull cable assembly. The strength of attachment of each locking pin, ball, swage, and loop to the cable shall be determined by means of a suitable testing apparatus containing a fixed and movable jaw. The speed of the
36、 movable jaw, under no load, shall be 12 +1/2 inches per minute. To determine the strength of attachment of the locking pins, ball, and swage, insert the cable in the fixed jaw and the item being tested in the movable jaw and apply a load of 100 pounds. When testing the loop, insert a metal rod thro
37、ugh the loop prior to attachment to the movable-jaw. The items tested shall conform to the requirements of paragraph 3.9.1.
