4.3.2 Bid sample tests. Bid sample padlocks shall be tested in accordance with 4.6.2. Bid sample

padlocks, after testing, shall not be returned to the bidder or offeror except for one each of the

padlocks selected as a production guide.

a. A test may be discontinued at the testing facility at any time the product fails to meet any

one or more of the requirements of this specification. The manufacturer may be permitted

to make modifications on his product during the testing phase when such modifications, in

the judgment of the contracting officer and the testing facility, are clearly in the best

interest of the Government.

b. In case of failure of the sample submitted, consideration will be given to the request of the

manufacturer for resubmission for retest only after it has been clearly shown that changes

have been made in the padlock which the Government considers sufficient to warrant

retest.

c. The manufacturer or his representative will not be permitted to observe the actual test

conducted on his product at the testing facility. However, when samples tested fail to

comply with the requirements of this specification, the samples may be examined by the

manufacturer or his representative and full details of the failure may be made known to

them in a manner which, for reasons of security, will be in the best interest of the

Government.
