MIL-S-62469(AT)
4.4.2.2 Completed trailer inspection. The production trailer shall be road tested 50 miles and inspected by the contractor for conformance to the requirements of contract and specifications. The applicable road test shall be in accordance with 4.6.3 but without payload. Upon completion, the contractor shall submit the trailer (and make available all inspection records and certifications) to the responsible government inspection element at contractor plant for inspection. Inspection and tests per table IV shall be conducted.
4.4.2.2.1 Repair of defects. Defects shall be corrected by the contractor at no cost to the Government. Failure of the contractor to promptly correct defects shall be cause for suspension of acceptance of production trailers until corrective action has been accomplished.
4.4.2.2.2 Semitrailer disposition. After completion of inspection, the first production trailer shall remain at the manufacturing facility, as a production sample, and shall be the last trailer shipped on the contract. The trailer may be released sooner at the discretion of the contracting officer. The contractor shall service and maintain the trailer during this period in accordance with applicable documents for care and preservation while in storage.
4.4.2.2.3 Final approval and acceptance. Final approval and acceptance by the Government of the first production trailer shall be withheld until the initial production inspection has been completed and a final determination has been made regarding conformity of the trailer to contractual requirements including, but not limited to workmanship and materials.
4.4.2.3 Reliability verification. To determine conformance to 3.2.1, a minimum acceptable value (MAV) of 8,000 miles shall be demonstrated during IPI specified in 4.4.1.1. A point estimate MAV will be computed using the cumulative test mileage of all trailers divided by the cumulative number of chargeable failures of all trailers.
4.4.2.3.1 Maintainability. To determine conformance to 3.2.2, the requirements shall be verified during IPI. The test trailer shall meet specified scheduled and unscheduled maintenance man-hours at required maintenance intervals.
4.4.2.3.2 Maintainability failures. Failure of the trailer to meet any of the maintainability requirements specified as a result of IPI shall be cause for rejection of the trailer. The Government shall refuse to continue acceptance of the production trailers until all maintainability requirements on trailers accepted prior to completion of IPI are accomplished at no cost to the Government.
4.4.2.3.3 Failure. Deficiencies of test trailers resulting from workmanship or materials found during (or caused by) the IPI, shall be cause for rejection of the trailers until evidence has been provided by the contractor that corrective action has been taken. Any deficiency found as a result of IPI, shall be evidence that all trailers accepted prior to completion of IPI are similarly deficient unless evidence satisfactory to the contracting officer is furnished by the contractor that they are not similarly deficient. Such deficiencies shall be corrected on all trailers by the contractor at no additional cost to the Government.
