QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1 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 contractor may use his
own or any other facilities suitable for the 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 this
specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and
services conform to prescribed requirements.
4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all requirements of
sections 3, 4, and 5. The inspection requirements set forth in this specification
shall become a part of the contractor's overall inspection system or quality
program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not
relieve the contractor of the responsibility for 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 operations, is an
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 accept defective material.
4.1.2 Component and material inspection. Components and materials shall be
inspected in accordance with all the requirements specified herein and in
applicable reference documents.
4.2 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified
herein are classified as follows:
a.
Bid sample inspection (see 4.3 and 6.3).
b.
First article inspection (see 4.4 and 6.4).
c.
Quality conformance inspection (see 4.5).
d.
Inspection of packaging (see 4.7).
4.3 Bid sample inspection. Bid sample inspections shall be conducted by
agencies as specified in the contract. Sample selection shall be at the
manufacturer's option as specified in 3.2.1 and 4.3.1.
4.3.1 Bid sample examination. Bid sample padlocks shall be examined for
defects listed in table I. The presence of any visual defect, any dimensions not
within specified requirements, or failure to pass any test shall be cause for
rejection of the bid. Bid sample padlocks, after inspection, shall be handled as
specified in 3.2.1 unless otherwise specified in the contract. Bid samples shall be
preproduction or standard production units from the contractor's current inventory.
