4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order (see
6.2), 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 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 inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as

a. Temperature between 70 and 80·F
b. Humidity: Ambient (but not exceeding 95 percent, relative)

4.4 First article inspection. A representative sample of 500 pounds of material, or any amount
equivalent to the weight required to fill ten units of the ordnance items to be loaded, shall be manufactured
in accordance with 3.1. First article inspection shall consist of subjecting the sample taken according to
4.5.2 and 4.5.3 to all of the examinations and tests specified in 4.6. Failure of the first article sample to
pass any inspection or to meet the requirements of this specification shall be cause for rejection of the first
article sample. Prior to approval of the sample, acquisition of materials or the initiation of production will
be at the sole risk of the contractor.
4.5 Quality conformance inspection. The quality conformance inspection shall consist of
subjecting the samples taken according to 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 to all of the tests and examinations specified in
