4.4.3 Specimen length. Each specimen for inspection shall be of the length specified in the
applicable test method.
4.4.4 Rejected lots. Failure of any sample to pass conformance inspections shall constitute a failure

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.

notify the cognizant inspection activity of such failure and take corrective action on the materials,

be discontinued until corrective action acceptable to the inspection activity has been taken. After the
corrective action has been taken, the conformance inspection shall be repeated on replacement articles.
(This includes all test and examinations, or only the test that the original sample failed, at the option of the
inspection activity.) Final acceptance and shipment will be withheld until the conformance inspection has
shown that the corrective action was successful. In the event of failure after re-inspection, information
concerning the failure should be provided to the cognizant inspection activity.
