4.4.3 Rejected lot. Failure of any sample to pass any inspection shall constitute a failure of the lot. If

an inspection lot is rejected, the contractor may rework the lot to correct the defects or screen out the

defective units, and resubmit the lot for re-inspection. Such lots shall be separated from new lots and

shall be identified as re-inspected lots (see 4.4.4).

4.4.4 Noncompliance. If a sample fails to pass any inspection, the contractor shall notify the

cognizant inspection activity of such failure and take corrective action on the materials or processes or

both, as warranted on all units of the product. Acceptance and shipment of the product shall be

discontinued until corrective action has been taken. After the corrective action has been taken, the

conformance inspection shall be repeated on replacement articles. (This includes all tests and

examinations, or only the test that the original sample failed, at the option of the cognizant inspection

activity.) Final acceptance and shipment shall be withheld until inspection has shown that the corrective

action was successful. In the event of failure after re-inspection, information concerning the failure shall

be provided to the cognizant inspection activity.

4.4.5 Group A inspection. Group A inspection shall include the applicable inspections specified in

4.4.6 Group B inspection. Group B inspection shall include the applicable inspections specified in

table I. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), group B inspection shall be performed on sample units that

have been subjected to and have passed the group A inspection.

4.5 Methods of inspection.

4.5.1 Insulation color coding. Samples of the cable shall be examined as specified in 3.6.

4.5.2 Overall shield. Samples of the shielded cable shall be examined as specified in 3.9.

4.5.3 Shielded conductors. Samples of the insulated and shielded conductors shall be examined as

specified in 3.7.

4.5.4 Cabling. Sampling of the cabled conductors shall be examined as specified in 3.8.
