MIL-P-18714D

3.10 Workmanship. All parts shall be free of chips, dirt, grease, rust, and all other foreign materials.

There shall be no burrs or other imperfections of manufacture which would affect the assembly, functioning,

or handling of the product. The cleaning methods used shall not be injurious to any of the parts, nor shall the

parts be contaminated by the cleaning agents. All markings shall be legible.

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 (examinations and tests) 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 any of the inspections set

forth in this specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services

conform to prescribed requirements.

4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The

inspection 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.

4.2 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows:

First article inspection (see 4.4)

Quality conformance inspection (see 4.5)

4.3 Test and examination methods (see 6.2). Primers shall be selected at random for each test or

examination. Identification of each primer's complete test and examination results shall be secured for

additional examination until otherwise directed by the contracting activity (see 6.6).

4.4 First article inspection. The first article shall be a homogeneous sample of 130 assembled primers and

five each of every component part and subassembly (less explosive components) fabricated, packaged, and

packed in accordance with the requirements of this specification and the contract or purchase order using the

methods and procedures to be used for production. The first article shall be submitted to the facility

designated in the contract or order for test and examination in accordance with the first article inspection plan

of table I (see 6.2 and 6.4). Prior to delivery, a first article shall be inspected and tested by the contractor for

all requirements specified herein.

4.4.1 First article sample rejection. Failure of the first article sample to meet any of the requirements shall

be cause for rejection of the sample.
