4.5.2 Shipments to non-Government facilities. Shipments to non-Government facilities shall be for visual and
dimensional inspections specified in table I.
4.5.3 Functional inspection. Functional inspection shall consist of the tests specified in table II.
4.5.3.1 Sampling plan. Sampling plan shall be as follows:
a.
One sample unit for the rough-handling test shall be selected whenever the design of the item or package is
changed.
b.
For unit packs requiring waterproof or water-vapor proof barriers, five sample units for the leakage test shall
be selected daily at random from the first lot processed each day. Five additional samples shall be selected
at random from the day's total production.
c.
The leakage test shall be performed following the rough-handling test on unit packs requiring waterproof or
water-vapor proof barriers. Five sample units or the number of units contained within the shipping container
(if less than five) shall be selected.
4.5.3.2 Failures. One or more failures shall be cause for rejection of the lot.
4.5.3.3 Disposition of sample units. Sample units which have passed the inspections specified in table II may be
delivered on the contract if the lot is accepted and opened packs have been reprocessed.
4.5.3.4 Noncompliance. If a sample fails to pass the inspections specified in table II, the contractor shall take
corrective action on the materials or processes or both, as warranted, on all unit, intermediate, and exterior (shipping)
packs which can be corrected and which were processed under essentially the same conditions, with essentially the
same materials, and which are considered subject to the same failure. Acceptance of the unit, intermediate, and
exterior packs shall be discontinued until corrective action has been taken and the applicable inspections specified in
table II have been repeated on additional sample units. All inspections or the inspection, which the original sample
failed, shall be at the option of the Government. Inspections specified in table II may be reinstituted; however, final
acceptance shall be withheld until the reinspection, in accordance with table II, has shown that the corrective action
was successful. In the event of failure after reinspection, information concerning the failure and corrective action
taken shall be furnished to the administrative contracting officer.
4.6 Methods of inspection and tests.
4.6.1 Visual and dimensional inspections. Unit, intermediate, and exterior packs shall be examined to verify that
the materials, designs, methods, physical limitations, marking, and workmanship are in accordance with the
4.6.2 Functional tests.
4.6.2.1 Rough handling. Packs shall be subject to the applicable rough handling tests and the interpretation of
4.6.2.2 Leakage. When a waterproof or water-vapor proof barrier is required, the unit pack shall be subjected to
the applicable leakage test and interpretation of results specified in 3.1.6.1.2 and MILSTD20731.
