MIL-DTL-9177C
4.4.2 Inspection routine. The sample shall be subjected to the inspections specified in table I, in the
order shown. All sample units shall be subjected to the inspections of group 1. The sample shall then be
divided into three groups, six units for group II, six units for group III, and two units for group IV.
4.4.3 Failures. One or more failures shall be cause for refusal to grant qualification approval.
4.4.4 Retention of qualification. To retain qualification, the contractor shall forward a report to the
qualifying activity at the end of 24 months. The qualifying activity shall establish the initial reporting date.
Subsequent reporting periods will be 36 months each. The report shall consist of:
a. A summary of the results of the tests performed for inspection of product for delivery groups A and
B, indicating as a minimum the number of lots that have passed and the number that have failed.
The results of tests of all reworked lots shall be identified and accounted for.
b. A summary of the results of tests performed for periodic inspection, group C, including the number
and mode of failures. The summary shall include results of all periodic inspection tests performed
and completed during the 24- or 36-month period. If the summary of the test results indicates
nonconformance with 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 qualified
products list.
Failure to submit the report within 30 days after the end of each 24- or 36-month period may result in loss
of qualification for a product. In addition to the periodic submission of inspection data, the contractor shall
immediately notify the qualifying activity at any time during the 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 type to testing in accordance with the
qualification inspection requirements.
4.4.5 Extension of qualification. Connectors of the same type shall be qualified for any permissible color
other than that tested during qualification inspection, provided that the material and design and
construction used are identical.
4.4.6 Group qualification. Group qualification shall be as specified (see 3.1).
4.5 Quality conformance inspection.
4.5.1 Inspection of product for delivery. Inspection of product for delivery shall consist of groups A and B
inspections.
4.5.1.1 Inspection lot. An inspection lot shall consist of all connectors of the same basic type produced
under essentially the same conditions, and offered for inspection at one time. An inspection lot may
include connectors of the same basic type having shells of different colors, provided that the connectors
are otherwise mechanically and dimensionally identical.
