4.5.1 Individual tests. Each cap shall be subjected to the following test:
4.5.1.1 Examination of product. Each cap shall be carefully examined to determine
conformance with this specification with respect to dimensions, finish, material, and
workmanship
4.5.2 Sampling tests. The caps shall be sampled in accordance with ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 at
the normal inspection level, unless otherwise specified in the acquisition document (see 6.2), and
subjected to the proof pressure test as specified (see 4.5.2.1). In addition, these caps shall be
subjected to any of the tests described under qualification tests which the inspector considers
necessary to determine conformance with the requirements of this specification.
4.5.2.1 Proof pressure. The cap seated on a body conforming to MIL-PRF-6164 shall be
subjected to a proof pressure of up to 10,000 psi without failure, distortion, or evidence of
leakage in any manner.
4.5.3 Rejection and retest. When an item selected from a production run fails to meet the
specification, no items still on hand or later produced shall be accepted until the extent and cause
of failure have been determined and appropriately corrected. The contractor shall explain to the
Government representative the cause of failure and the action taken to preclude recurrence.
After correction, all of the tests shall be repeated.
4.5.3.1 Individual tests. For production reasons, individual tests or other sampling plans
may be continued pending the investigation of a sampling test failure. But final acceptance of
the items on hand or items produced later shall not be made until it is determined that all items
meet all the requirements of the specification.
4.6 Retention of qualification. Each vendor listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL)
shall be required to certify their product on DD form 1718 every 2 years. Contractor shall repeat
the qualification requirements specified (see 4.3) under the following circumstances:
a. Contractor has not manufactured the item for a period in excess of ten years.
b. Contractor has relocated the facility in which the items were manufactured.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as
specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by
DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging
activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the
Inventory Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or
within the military service's system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM
products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
