4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS.
4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract, 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 assure that 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.
4.1.2 Test equipment and inspection facilities. Test and measuring equipment and inspection facilities of sufficient accuracy, quality, and quantity to permit performance of the required inspection shall be established and maintained by the contractor.
4.1.3 Test connector. A test connector of the type specified as the mating connector (see 3.1) shall be used in testing sample connectors. Approval of the test connector for use in the tests shall not constitute acceptance of the connector PIN represented by the test connector. In the event of failure of the test connector, a new one shall be substituted and the test continued. Rejection of a test connector will not constitute a failure of the connector under test.
4.2 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows:
a. Qualification inspection (see 4.4).
b. Quality conformance inspection (see 4.5).
4.3 Inspection conditions. Unless otherwise specified herein all inspections, examinations, and tests shall be performed in accordance with the applicable conditions specified in UL 498.
4.3.1 Conditioning during inspection. Neither pin, blade, nor socket contacts of connectors submitted for examinations or test shall be adjusted, lubricated or otherwise conditioned before, during or after any examination or test.
4.4 Qualification inspection. Qualification shall be obtained by either of the following:
a. By testing the connector in accordance with 4.4.1. Qualification inspection shall be performed at a laboratory acceptable to the Government (see 6.4) on sample units produced with equipment and procedures normally used in production. Qualification approval may be granted upon successful completion of the inspections and tests conducted upon test samples, such approval to include classes, finishes, configuration and insert arrangements other than those actually tested providing that the capability to manufacture these parts is demonstrated by providing exhibit samples.
