QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purch
33、aseorder, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements(examinations and tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract orpurchase order, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for theperformance of the inspection
34、 requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by theGovernment. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth inthis specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies andservices conform to prescribed requirements.4.1.1 Responsibility f
35、or compliance. All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3and 5. The inspections set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractorsoverall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements inthe specification shall not relieve the contractor
36、 of the responsibility of ensuring that all productsor supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of thecontract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is an acceptable practice toascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not
37、authorize submission of knowndefective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to acceptdefective material.4.1.2 Certification of Quality Conformance. A certification of quality conformance shall befurnished with each lot of cloths offered for acceptance. Figure 3 ide
38、ntifies the data which mustbe provided. The certification shall include actual data for quantitative attributes specified inProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-24671C(SH)7tables II.a and II.b. The certification may be in the form
39、shown in Figure 3, or a suppliers formwith the same information.4.2 Test methods. Test methods shall be in accordance with table II. More than onecloth may be tested if needed to provide sufficient samples for all required tests. Test andinspection results shall meet the requirements of section 3.4.
40、3 Quality conformance inspection.4.3.1 Fabric. Fabric from which the cloths are made shall be inspected and tested (onceper lot) for all attributes specified in table II.a. An inspection lot is all fabric of the same gradeproduced in the same production run. The fabric shall be tested using the appl
41、icable testmethods in table II.a and shall meet the applicable requirements in section 3. All non-conforming fabric shall be rejected. Test results shall be retained for review by the command oragency concerned upon request.4.3.2 Cloth. Samples of individual finished cloth shall be selected at rando
42、m from all thefinished cloths in a lot. Samples shall be tested for the attributes in table II.b and shall meet theapplicable requirements of section 3. The required number of samples and criteria for lotacceptance are listed in 4.3.2.2.4.3.2.1 Inspection lot. An inspection lot shall consist of clot
43、hs of the same type, grade,and class produced from the same supply of fabric and produced in the same production run.The lot size is the total number of individual cloths in the lot.4.3.2.2 Sampling plan. Testing for water leachable elements is required to be performedon only one finished cloth per
44、lot, regardless of lot size. If the sample fails, the lot shall berejected. For other attributes in table II.b, the following sampling requirements apply:Cloths per lot Sample size Maximum permitted defectiveLess than 1200 5 01200 - 35,000 8 1*Greater than 35,000 13 1*0 for lint and foreign material
