MIL-S-62549(AT)
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase
order (see 6.2), the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform or witness any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.
4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items must meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractors overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of assuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the
contract. Sampling in quality conformance does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to acceptance of defective material.
4.1.2 Inspection equipment. Unless otherwise specified in the contract (see 6.2), the contractor is responsible for the provision and maintenance of all inspection equipment necessary to assure that supplies and services conform to contract requirements. Inspection equipment must be capable of repetitive measurements to an accuracy of 10% of the measurement tolerance. Calibration of inspection equipment shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-45662.
4.1.3 Government verification. All quality assurance operations performed by the contractor will be subject to Government verification at unscheduled intervals. Verification will consist of (a) surveillance of the operation to determine that practices, methods, and procedures of the written quality assurance system plan are being properly applied, and (b) Government product inspection to measure the quality of the product offered for acceptance. Deviation from the
prescribed or agreed upon procedure, or instances of poor practices which might have an adverse effect upon quality of the product, will immediately be called to the attention of the contractor. Failure of the contractor to promptly correct deficiencies shall be cause for suspension of acceptance until corrective action has been made, or until the conformance of the product to prescribed criteria has been demonstrated.
4.1.4 Qualified products. When a part or component is specified to conform to a specification having a Qualified Products List (QPL), the contractor shall make available to the Government documentation of item acquisition from such QPL. The documentation shall include the QPL date and identification of the supplier, purchase order, and quantity.
