MIL-PRF-4556F
4.2 Conformance inspection. Conformance inspection for acceptance of material
shall be conducted on a recurring basis and include the examinations and tests
listed below.
4.2.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall 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 or actual, nor does it commit the Government
to acceptance of defective material.
4.2.2 Material Safety Data Sheet. A material safety data sheet not prepared in
accordance with the FED-STD-313 and 29 CFR Part 1910.1200 shall be cause for
rejection. The contractor shall pack a copy of the MSDS with each shipment of
material.
4.2.3 Sampling, inspection, and testing. Unless otherwise specified, sampling
inspection and testing shall be performed in accordance with FED-STD-141, section 1000.
4.2.4 Classification of tests.
Testing under this specification shall be for the
following:
a.
Qualification (see 4.2.4.1 and 6.4)
b.
Acceptance (see 4.2.4.2)
c.
Quality conformance (see 4.2.4.3)
4.2.4.1 Qualification testing. Qualification testing shall be conducted by the
qualifying activity (see 6.4). Qualification inspection shall consist of tests
for all requirements specified in section 3. The results of each test shall be
compared with the applicable requirements in section 3. Failure to conform to any
requirement shall be counted as a defect, and the paint represented by the sample
tested shall not be approved for inclusion in the Qualified Products List (QPL)
under this specification.
4.2.4.2 Acceptance testing. Acceptance testing of individual lots shall consist
of viscosity, fineness of grind, VOC, drying time, condition in container, mixing
properties, spraying properties, percent total pigment and flash points as
specified in section 3.
4.2.4.3 Quality conformance testing. When approved by the cognizant activity,
acceptance of lots for use as a component of an end item shall be based on
conformance with specified requirements for the following characteristics:
condition in container, color, drying time, pot life, adhesion, and fuel and water
resistance as specified in section 3.
4.3
Test methods.
4.3.1 Test conditions. The testing conditions shall be in accordance with
FED-STD-141, section 9 or in accordance with the appropriate ASTM method except as
otherwise specified herein. For referee testing, all test specimens shall be
prepared and tested at a temperature of 20 to 32oC (68 to 90oF) and a relative
humidity of 45-65 percent. Failure of any test result to fall within the ranges
specified in section 3 as applicable, shall constitute failure of the applicable
test.
4.3.2 Test procedures. The following tests (see table II) shall be conducted in
