4. VERIFICATION
4.1 Classification of inspection. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as
follows:
a. First article inspection (see 4.3).
b. Conformance inspections (see 4.4).
4.2 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3, 4, and 5. The
inspections set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractor's overall inspection system
or quality program. 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.
4.3 First article inspection. A sample of 16 hose assemblies, .125 inch (3.18 mm) ID and a free hose
length of 14 inches (35.6 cm) (measured between fittings), shall be furnished for first article inspection.
Hose assemblies shall be representative of units proposed to be furnished under contract. First article
inspection shall be conducted under Government surveillance by the contractor, or by an authorized
testing facility at a site approved by the Government. First article inspection shall consist of all the
examinations and tests of this specification, as specified in table VI. First article tests shall be conducted
on the sample hoses in accordance with the test sequence specified in table VII.
4.3.1 Inspection conditions. Unless otherwise specified, all inspections shall be performed in
accordance with the tests conditions specified in 4.5.1, 4.5.3, 4.5.4, 4.5.5, 4.5.6, 4.5.7, 4.5.8, 4.5.9,
4.3.1.2 Ambient conditions. Unless otherwise specified, all inspections shall be conducted under the
following ambient conditions: 77°F ±15°F (25 ±8°C), ambient pressure of 28.5 (+2, -3) inches of mercury
(0.95 bar (+6.77, -10.16 kilopascal)), and 50 ±30% relative humidity.
4.3.2 First article samples. If requested by the contracting officer the manufacturer shall supply
sample hoses or hose assemblies. The quantity and the hose or hose assembly lengths for the samples
shall be specified on the contract or purchase order. The samples shall be representative of the
construction, workmanship, components, and materials to be used during production. When a
manufacturer is in continuous production of hose or hose assemblies from one contract to another,
submission of additional first article samples for a new contract may be waived at the discretion of the
acquiring activity (see 6.2).
4.3.3 Disposition of samples. First article samples shall be furnished to the Government as directed
by the contracting officer (see 6.2).
4.3.4 First article information. Upon completion of first article inspection, the Government activity
responsible for conducting the inspection program (see 6.2), 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 conformance
inspection.
