4.5.4.4 Nonconformance of periodic inspection. If a sample fails a periodic inspection, both the
qualifying and inspection activities shall be immediately notified of such failure. Acceptance and shipment
of the product shall be discontinued until corrective action, acceptable to the qualifying activity, has been
taken. The corrective measures shall be performed on the materials or processes, or both, as warranted,
and on all products considered subjected to the same failure. Once the corrective action has been
completed, either the specific periodic control test in which the original sample failed or all periodic control
tests may be required to be repeated on additional samples, at the option of the qualifying activity.
Furthermore, the sampling tests may be reinstituted in addition to the periodic control tests if deemed
applicable by the qualifying activity. However, final acceptance shall be withheld until testing has shown
that the corrective action was successful. In the event of a failure after re-inspection, information
concerning the failure and the corrective action taken shall be furnished to both the qualifying and
inspection activities.
4.5.5 Disposition of test samples. Samples that have been subjected to any periodic inspections are
considered damaged and shall not be delivered as part of a contract or purchase order.
4.6 Additional QPL test and reporting requirements.
4.6.1 Retention of qualification. To retain qualification, the contractor shall submit a test report to the
qualifying activity at 12 month intervals. The qualifying activity shall establish the initial reporting date.
Each report shall consist of a summary of test and inspection results required by this specification that
were performed during the 12 month reporting interval. As a minimum, the report shall include the
following:
a.
Number of lots produced and tested, including lot and sample sizes for each lot.
b.
Identify which tests were performed.
c.
Quantities passed.
d.
Quantities failed.
e.
All reworked sampling lots shall be accounted for and identified. A summary of corrective
action taken shall be included.
