4.4 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3, 4, and 5. The
absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the
responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance
comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is
an acceptable practice to ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize
submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to
accept defective material.
4.5 First article inspection. First article inspection shall be performed at a laboratory acceptable to
the procuring activity on sample units produced with equipment and procedures used in production.
4.5.1 Samples for first article. One primer unit for first article shall be representative of the products
proposed to be furnished to this specification
4.5.2 First article inspection routine. One primer unit shall be subjected to first article testing in
table II. The test sequence shall be determined by the manufacturer unless otherwise specified.

responsible for conducting the inspection program (see 6.5), shall report the results of the inspection, with
appropriate recommendation, to the contracting officer. Approval of the first article samples or the
waiving of first article inspection does not preclude the requirements for performing individual, or sampling
and periodic inspections.
4.5.4.1 Disposition of samples. First article samples shall be furnished to the Government as
directed by the contracting officer (see 6.2).
4.6. Conformance inspection. For manufacturers that have successfully passed first article
inspections and are continuously producing primer units to this specification, ongoing inspections shall
consist of individual inspections (see table III). If first article is waived due to prior successful first article
inspection, the individual inspection shall be the manufacturer's in house inspection procedures.
4.6.1. Individual inspection. Individual inspection shall consist of the inspections specified in table
III. Individual inspections shall be implemented on a continual basis throughout the production of primer
units. Individual inspection tests specified in table III shall be performed on a production lot basis.
