MIL-T-23824A(OS)

(a) Preproduction inspection (paragraph 4.5)

(b) Quality conformance inspection (paragraph 4.4)

4.3 Sampling

4.3.1 Preproduction. A preproduction sample of five beacon lights,

manufactured in accordance. with 3.2.2, shall be subjected to the pre-

production tests detailed in 4.5 at an activity designated by the

procuring activity. Acceptance of the preproduction sample shall be

based on no defects in the sample. Further production of the beacon

light by the supplier, prior to the approval of the preproduction

sample, shall be at the supplier's risk.

4.3.2 Lot size. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or

order, each shipment of units of product shall be a separate `*inspec-

tion lot" and may differ from the quantity specified in the total

order or contract. In any event, all units of a single "inspection

lot" shall be made to the same design, with the same materials and

manufacturing techniques, and shall be part of one continuous pro-

duction run.

4.3.3 Periodic production samples. From each succeeding lot or

grand lot of 300 or less that have passed the quality conformance

inspection of 4.4, a random sample of five beacon lights will be

selected for submission to an activity designated by the procuring

activity to determine compliance of the samples with the require-

ments of the contract, specification, and drawings. The beacon

lights shall be considered satisfactory if they meet all specifica-

tions and pertinent drawings requirements and withstand the tests

specified in 4.4 and 4.5. Failure of the periodic production sample

to comply with these requirements will result in the rejection of

the lot, as determined by the procuring activity.

4.4 Quality conformance inspection. Each beacon light delivered

under contract shall be subjected to the following tests and exam-

inations. Failure to meet any requirement specified herein shall

be considered cause for rejection.

4.4.1 Test conditions. Unless otherwise specified, the torpedo

beacon light shall be subjected to quality conformance tests under

the following conditions.

4.4.1.1 Temperature. Room ambient 65 degrees Fahrenheit (F) to

95 degrees F (18.33 degrees centigrade (C) to 35.0 degrees C).
