Quality Assurance Provisions.
Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contact or purchase order, the contractor may use his own or any facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.
Records. Records of examinations and tests performed by or for the contractor shall be maintained by the contractor and made available to the Government upon the Government’s request, at any time, or from time to time, during the performance of the contract and for a period of three years after delivery of the supplies to which such records relate.
Inspection. Inspection, as used herein, is defined as both examination (such as visual or auditory investigation without the use of special laboratory appliances or procedures) and testing (determination by technical means of physical and chemical properties) of the item.
Tests. Tests shall be conducted in accordance with commercial practice to determine compliance with specification requirements. Sampling for the tests shall be in accordance with commercial practice. Additional testing shall be conducted in accordance with procedures hereinafter indicated, to determine compliance with the specification requirements. Where feasible, the same sample may be used for the determination of two or more test characteristics. The unit of product for sampling shall be the individual thermometer.
Accuracy testing. The thermometer shall be tested against a standard thermometer at 32 degrees (F) and at two additional temperature points. The calibration of the standard thermometer shall be traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). There shall be at least a 50 degree (F) difference between the middle temperature and each of the other two temperature points. Sampling for the accuracy testing shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-105 and an S-3 inspection level. The rejection number shall be two (2). Any thermometer that does not provide all temperature readings within +/- 2 degrees of the standard thermometer readings shall be cause for rejection.
