4.4.3.1 Sampling plan. Sampling plans shall be as follows:
a. One sample unit for the rough handling test shall be selected whenever the design of the item or
packaging 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 also be performed following the rough handling test on unit packs requiring
waterproof water-vapor proof barriers. Five containers (if less than five) shall be selected.
4.4.3.2 Failures. One or more failures shall be cause for rejection of the lot.
4.4.3.3 Disposition of sample units. Sample units which have passed the inspections specified in table
V may be delivered on the contract, if the lot is accepted and opened packs have been reprocessed.
4.4.3.4 Noncompliance. If a sample fails to pass the inspections specified in table IV, the contractor
shall take corrective action on the materials or processes or both, as warranted, on all units, 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 IV have been repeated on
additional sample units (all inspections or the inspection which the original sample failed, at the option of
the Government). Inspections specified in table IV may be reinstituted; however, final acceptance shall
be withheld until the reinspection in accordance with table IV 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.
4.5 Methods of inspections and tests.
4.5.1 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 applicable requirements (see 3.1.1 through 3.1.8).
4.5.2 Functional tests.
4.5.2.1 Rough handling. Packs shall be subjected to the applicable rough handling tests and the
interpretation of results or cause for rejection as specified in 3.1.6.1.1 and MIL-STD-2073-1.
