the number that have failed. The results of tests of all reworked lots shall be identified and
accounted for.
b. 24 to 36 months intervals A summary of the results of group C tests performed for qualification
inspection, including the number and mode of failures. The contractor shall forward the initial report
at the end of 24 months; subsequent reporting periods will be 36 months. The qualifying activity
shall establish the initial reporting date. If the summary of the test results indicated nonconformance
with the specification requirements, and corrective action acceptable to the qualifying activity has not
been taken, action may be taken to remove the failing product from the QPL.
Failure to submit the report within 30 days after the end of each 12-, 24- or 36-month period may
result in loss of qualification for the product. In addition to the periodic submission of inspection data, the
contractor shall immediately notify the qualifying activity at any time during the 12-, 24- or 36-month
period that the inspection data indicates failure of the qualified product to meet the requirements of this
specification.
In the event that no production occurred during the reporting period, a report shall be submitted
certifying that the company still has the capabilities and facilities necessary to produce the item. If during
two consecutive reporting periods there has been no production, the manufacturer may be required, at
the discretion of the qualifying activity, to submit a representative product of each PIN for testing in
accordance with the qualification inspection requirements.
4.6 Conformance inspection.
4.6.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items must meet all requirements of section 3. The absence of
any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of
assuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all
requirements of the contract. Sampling in quality conformance does not authorize submission of known
defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to accept defective
material. The government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the
specifications where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure the products supplied to this
specification conform to prescribed requirements.
4.6.2 Inspection of product for delivery. Inspection of product for delivery shall consist of groups A, B
and C.
