W-C-596H/GEN
b. By having Underwriters Laboratories or Canadian Standards Association listing and Federal Specification verification. Manufacturers electing this option shall submit a letter of certification to the qualifying activity listing the Underwriters Laboratories or the Canadian Standards Association file number, report date, the Government PIN and the manufacturer's PIN for each connector for which qualification is desired. Qualification approval may be granted upon successful completion of the inspections and tests conducted by UL or CSA 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.
4.4.1 Initial qualification routine. Connectors shall be subjected to the inspections specified in UL 498 and also to the inspections specified in table I or II (as applicable) in the order shown. Sample size shall be as specified in UL 498 and in table I or II (as applicable). Representative connectors shall be selected from each family grouping as described in 4.7.
4.4.1.1 Failures. One or more failures shall be cause for refusal to grant qualification approval.
4.4.2 Retention of qualification. To retain qualification, the contractor shall use the following applicable procedure.
4.4.2.1 Connectors qualified in accordance with 4.4a. The contractor shall forward a report at 12- or 36- month intervals to the qualifying activity. The qualifying activity shall establish the initial reporting date. Initial retention of qualification shall be at 12-month interval; subsequent retention of qualification at 36- month intervals. The report shall consist of:
a. A summary of the results of tests performed for inspection of product for delivery group I of table I or table II (as applicable) (see 4.5.1) 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. This shall be submitted every 12 months.
b. A summary of the results of tests performed for periodic inspection (see 4.4.3.1) including the number and modes of failures. The summary shall include results of all qualification verification inspection tests performed and completed during the 12- 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 60 days after the end of each 12- 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-or 36-month period that the inspection data indicates failure of the qualified products 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 items. If during 3 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 style, voltage rating, and current rating to testing in accordance with the qualification inspection requirements.
