4.5 Conformance Inspection of the connectors before preparation for delivery. The contractor shall

perform the inspection specified in 4.4 and 4.5.1 through 4.5.4. This does not relive the contractor of his

responsibility for performing any additional inspection which is necessary to control the quality of the

product and to assure compliances with all specification requirements. The Government will review and

evaluate the contractor's inspection procedures and examine the contractor's inspection records. In

addition, the Government, at its discretion, may perform all or any part of the specified inspection, to

verify the contractor's compliance with specified requirements (see 6.5). Test equipment for Government

verification inspection shall be made available by the contractor.

4.5.1. Sampling plan (Group A). Table II tests shall be performed on a production lot basis.

Samples shall be selected in accordance with Table IIa. If one or more defects are found, the lot shall be

screened for that particular defect and defects removed. A new sample of parts shall be selected in

accordance with Table IIa and all Group A tests again performed. If one or more defects are found in the

second sample, the lot shall be rejected and shall not be supplied to this specification.

4.5.1.1 Visual inspection (Group A inspection). Each connector shall be visually examined for

completeness, workmanship, and identification requirements. Attention shall be given to those

assemblies that require a gasket to determine the condition of the gasket. Gaskets missing, twisted,

buckled, kinked, or damaged in any way shall be cause for rejection. Group A inspection shall be

performed in any order acceptable to the Government.
