Movement of the index hand shall be free of backlash, hanging, or irregular motion when the
pressure is varied uniformly. These tests may be combined with those of 4.6.8.
4.7 Rejection and retest. Any unit failing to meet the individual tests and the sampling
plan A or B tests shall be cause for rejection of the entire lot. Barometers that have been rejected
may be replaced or repaired and the lot retested using a tightened sample size in accordance with
verification level II of MIL-STD-1916. Prior to retesting, the manufacturer shall provide in
writing to the procuring activity all corrective actions taken to correct the defect(s). Units
rejected after retest shall not be resubmitted and the lot shall be rejected unless specific approval
is authorized by the procuring activity granting additional corrective actions and testing.
