38、1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements (examinations and -tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contract
39、or may use his own or any other facilities suitable for performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to
40、 ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. * 4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items must meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractors overall inspection system or quality program. The a
41、bsence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operation
42、s, is acceptable practice to ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the government to acceptance of defective material. 4.1.2 Certificate of compliance. Where certificates of compl
43、iance are submitted, the Government reserves the right to check test such items to determine the validity of the certification. 4.2 Classification of inspection. The. inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows: 1. First article inspection (see 4.3). 2. Quality conformance ins
44、pection (see 4.4). * 4.3 First article inspection. When required (see 6.2), the first article of finished cloth submitted in accordance with 3.3 shall be visually inspected for uniformity of shade, color, and finished appearance, and shall be tested for chemical and physical properties in accordance
45、 with methods specified in .- 4.3. 6 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-a a a MIL-C-24715A 3 = 7777706 0467450 2 MIL-C-24915A 4.4 Quality conformance inspection. Sampling for inspection shall be performed in accordance with MIL-STD-105,
46、except where otherwise indicated. * 4.4.1 Component and material inspection. In accordance with 4.1 above, components and materials shall be tested in accordance with all the requirements of referenced specifications, drawings, and standards unless otherwise excluded, amended, modified, or qualified
47、 in this specification or applicable procurement documents. A certificate of compliance may be submitted for the material requirements of 3.4.1 and the singeing of 3.6. * 4.4.2 Examination of the end item. Examination of the end item shall be in accordance with 4.4.2.1 through 4.4.2.5. * 4.4.2.1 Yar
48、d-by-yard examination. Each roll in the sample shall be examined on face side only. When the total yardage in the roll does not exceed 100 yards (91.4111) the entire yardage in the roll shall be examined. When the total yardage in the roll exceeds 100 yards (91.4m), only 100 yards (91.4111) shall be
49、 examined. All defects are defined in Section 1 of FED-STD-4, which are clearly noticeable at normal inspection distance (3 feet) (0.91111) shall be scored and assigned demerit points as listed in 4.4.2.1.1, except that only the slubs and knots which exceed the limits shown on Sears Fabric Defect Scale (see 6.4), IE“ or l3“ as applicable for slubs and “C“ for knots shall be scored.
