4.4 Conformance inspection. Conformance inspection shall consist of the examinations of
4.4.3, the tests of 4.4.4 and the packaging inspection of 5.1. Non compliance with any of the
specified requirements in section 3 or 5 shall be cause for non-acceptance.
4.4.1 Sampling for examination. Sampling for conformance inspection shall be as stated
in the contract (see 6.2).
4.4.2 Lot formation. Lot formation shall be as stated in the contract (see 6.2).
4.4.3 CI examinations. The samples selected in accordance with 4.4.1 shall be examined
as specified in 4.4.3.1 through 4.4.3.3.
4.4.3.1 Visual and dimensional examination. Filters and/or filter elements shall be visually
and dimensionally examined for completeness of manufacture, freedom from defects (other than
filtering ability and pressure resistance), proper item identification, conformance to applicable
drawings and specifications.
4.4.3.2 Materials and construction. Conformance to 3.3 and 3.4 shall be determined by
inspection of contractor records providing proof or certification that design, construction,
processing, and materials conform to requirements. Applicable records shall include drawings,
specifications, design data, receiving inspection records, processing and quality control standards,
vendor catalogs and certifications, industry standards, test reports, and rating data. Recoverable
materials shall conform to the same specifications (see 6.4.7).
4.4.3.3 Defects. Conformance to 3.3, 3.4 and 3.6 shall be determined by examination for
the defects listed in table IV. Examination shall be visual, tactile, or by measurement with
standard inspection equipment.
4.4.4 CI tests. Each filter or filter element selected shall be subjected to the CI tests
specified in table VI. Additional tests may be specified at the discretion of the procuring activity
(see 6.2).
4.4.5 CI failure. Any item that fails to conform to any specified requirement shall not be
accepted, any failure (one or more) of the selected sample in any category of table IV or test for
the appropriate inspection lot size shall constitute a non-acceptance of the entire lot. If the
contractor utilizes sampling inspection as an element of his inspection system, rejected inspected
lots may be resubmitted for acceptance if the contractor performs 100% inspection on the lot for
those characteristics which were defective and resulted in non-acceptance of the lot and removes
all defective units or obtains procuring activity approval to resample the lot due to the
insignificance of the defects. Resubmitted lots shall be kept separate from new lots and shall be
clearly identified as resubmitted lots.
