4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items must meet all requirements of section 3 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 assuring that all products or supplies submitted to the government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling in quality conformance does not authorize submission of known defective material,

either indicated of actual, nor does it commit the Government to acceptance of defective material.

4.1.2 Inspection lot. For purposes of sampling, a lot shall consist of all grit or shot of the same type, grade, and size manufactured as one batch and offered for delivery at one time.

4.1.3 Sampling for inspection of containers. A random sample of filled containers shall be selected from each lot in accordance with MIL-STD-105, Inspection Level I, using an Acceptable Quality Level of 2.5 percent defective to verify compliance to this specification regarding fill, closure, marking, and other requirements not involving tests.

4.1.4 Sampling for quality conformance tests. From each inspection lot, two containers shall be selected at random. The material from each container shall be quartered or riffled by the method described in ASTM D 1214-58, paragraph 4, except that 500 grams of grit or shot shall be used for tests. Each of the samples thus obtained shall be subjected to all of the prescribed tests. If either of the samples fails one or more of these tests, the lot shall be rejected. Rejected lots may be resubmitted for quality conformance tests, provided the supplier has removed or reworked all nonconforming products.
