4. 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 the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to 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 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 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 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.
4.2 Classification of inspection. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as quality conformance inspection (see 4.3).
4.3 Quality conformance inspection. Quality conformance inspection shall consist of sampling plans A and B.
4.3.1 Batch lot. A batch lot shall consist of 500 pounds or less of compound manufactured at one time from one batch of compound (see 3.1) offered for delivery at one time.
4.3.2 Sampling plan A. A one-pound sample of the compound (see 3.1) shall be selected at random from each inspection lot in accordance with ASTM D 4057, FED-STD-791 and subjected to the tests specified in 4.4.
