QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the
contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance
of all inspection requirements (examinations and tests) specified herein.
Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, 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 supplies and services conform to prescribed
requirements.
4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items must 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 acceptance of defective material.
4.1.2 Component and material inspection. The contractor is responsible for
ensuring that components and materials used are manufactured, examined and
tested in accordance with referenced specifications, standards and drawings,
as applicable.
4.1.3 Disassembly inspection. Failure of any examination or test by the
first article shall be cause for disassembly, in the presence of a Government
representative, of the first article to the extent necessary to determine the
cause of the failure. Each disassembled part shall be examined in detail for
compliance with this specification and referenced drawings in regard to
materials, dimensions, tolerances, and workmanship. Parts not complying with
such requirements shall be rejected and shall be cause for rejection of the
first article. Reassembly with replacement parts and retesting shall be the
responsibility of the contractor.
4.1.4 Parts and components. Parts and components detailed on the drawings
shall be inspected in accordance with the quality assurance provisions (QAP)
shown on the drawings. The drawings specify the characteristics requiring QAP
inspection1 the sampling plan, and the basis for acceptance and rejection (see
6.7 and 6.8).
