4. VERIFICATION
4.1 Classification of inspection. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as
follows:
a. First article inspection (see 4.5).
b. Conformance inspection (see 4.6).
4.2 Test equipment and inspection facilities. Test and measuring equipment and inspection facilities
of sufficient accuracy, quality and quantity to permit performance of the required inspection shall be used.
The establishment and maintenance of a calibration system to control the accuracy of the measuring and
test equipment shall be in accordance with ISO 17025 and NCSL Z540.3 as applicable.
4.2.1 Component and material inspection. Components and materials shall be inspected in
accordance with all the requirements specified herein and in applicable documents.
4.3 Inspection conditions. Unless otherwise specified, all required inspections shall be performed in
accordance with the test conditions specified in 4.8.
4.4 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3, 4, 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.
4.5 First article inspection. First article inspection shall be performed on the expansion joint when a
first article is required (see 3.3 and 6.2). First article inspection shall be performed at a laboratory
acceptable to the Government on sample units produced with equipment and procedures used in
production. This inspection shall include the examination of 4.7 and the tests of 4.8. The first article may
be either a first production item or a standard production item from the supplier's current inventory
