4.1 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as
follows:
a. First article inspection (see 4.1.1).
b. Conformance inspection (see 4.1.2).
4.1.1 First article inspection. The first article inspection shall be performed on one cable assembly
when a first article is required (see 3.2 and 6.2). This inspection shall include the examination of 4.4, the
tests of 4.5, and, when specified, the first article packaging inspection of 4.6 (see 6.2). The first article
may be either a first production item or a standard production item from the supplier's current inventory
provided the item meets the requirements of the specification and is representative of the design,
construction, and manufacturing technique applicable to the remaining items to be furnished under the
contract.
4.1.2 Conformance inspection. The quality conformance inspection shall include the examination of
4.4, the tests of 4.5, and the packaging inspection of 4.6. This inspection shall be performed on the
samples selected in accordance with 4.3.
inspection set forth in this document shall become a part of the contractor's overall inspection system or
quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in this document 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.
4.2.1 Component and material inspection. Components and materials shall be inspected in
accordance with all the requirements specified herein and in applicable referenced documents.
4.3 Sampling. Sampling and inspection procedures shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-1916. The
unit of product shall be one cable. All cables offered for delivery at one time shall be considered a lot for
the purpose of inspection.
4.3.1 Sampling for examination. Guidance for inspection level and an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)
is provided in 6.5.1.
4.3.2 Sampling for tests. Guidance for inspection level and an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) is
provided in 6.5.2.
4.4 Examination. Each cable assembly selected shall be examined for compliance with the
requirements specified in section 3 of this specification. Any redesign or modification of the contractor's
standard product to comply with specified requirements, or any necessary redesign or modification
following failure to meet specified requirements shall receive particular attention for adequacy and
suitability. This element of inspection shall encompass all visual examinations and dimensional
measurements. Noncompliance with any specified requirement shall constitute one defect.
4.5.1 Tension test. A straight pull, of not less than 75 pound-force shall be applied continuously, for a
period of 1 minute, between jumper cable and each cable connector plug and between jumper cable and
the voltage control unit. Following the tension test, each component shall be examined for damage and
electrical connections examined to insure that strain relief provisions are adequate to determine
conformance to 3.4.
