If used, objective evidence shall be available that demonstrates overall measurement adequacy techniques and controls. These techniques shall ensure quality levels equal to, or greater than, those cited in applicable technical document or, herein.
4.2.2 End item inspections/testing may be used by the offeror or the Government representative, as a means to determine the effectiveness of the process quality controls. While in-process controls shall not be substituted for end item performance testing, they may be instituted for visual and dimensional inspection/testing
4.2.3 For those characteristics for which there are no such controls, or for end item performance test, lot by lot sampling for inspection/test shall be required. The sample unit shall be one perforator. Sampling shall be in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/ American Society for Quality Control (ASQC) Z1.4, Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes.
4.2.4 An inspection lot shall consist of all like items submitted for inspection at one time. The inspection level for visual and dimensional examination shall be S-3 with an AQL of 4.0 percent defective. The inspection level for performance testing shall be S-1 with an AQL of 4.0 percent defective. The supplier must provide objective evidence (tests and inspection records) that the presented material meets the requirements of the sampling plan as indicated above.
4.3 Performance Test: Each operation shall be performed 100 times. All 100 operations shall leave holes entirely punched out, without torn or ragged edges.
4.3.1 Durability Test: The perforator shall be tested using Kraft or Manila paperboard. Basis Weight 66.7 kg (147 lb), 60.96 cm (24”) x 91.44 cm (36”)- 500 sheets, 11 pt. The perforator shall be capable of consistently perforating 16 sheets bond paper at one time.
