A.5.2
Rejection and retest of ballistic plates.
A.5.2.1 First article tests (rejection). Unless otherwise specified in the
contract or order, failure of any of the first article test plates to meet the
minimum ballistic requirements shown in the appendix of this specification
indicates failure of the product and process.
A.5.2.2 First article (retests). Resubmission of ballistic retest plates shall
not be made until the manufacturer has made the necessary corrections in the
processing of the material as acknowledged by the procuring activity. Two
retest plates shall be submitted for first article testing and both tests must
pass; otherwise, the armor material shall be rejected.
A.5.2.3 Acceptance tests (rejection). Unless otherwise specified in the
contract or order, failure of a test plate to meet the ballistic requirements
indicates rejection of the lot; however, the final decision will depend on the
outcome of retests, if submitted.
A.5.2.4 Acceptance tests (retests). If a test plate representing a lot fails
to meet the ballistic requirement, the manufacturer, upon notification of the
failure, may submit at his own expense two additional test plates from the same
lot for ballistic retest. If either of these plates fail the ballistic test,
the lot shall be rejected. The manufacturer may elect to resubmit the lot after
retreatment of the entire lot by submitting two additional test plates. If
either of these plates fail, the lot shall be permanently rejected.
A.5.3
Disposition of ballistic test plates.
A.5.3.1 First article test plates. Upon request of the applicant within 15
days after ballistic testing, first article plates will be returned "as is" to
the applicant, at his expense, unless the plates were destroyed in testing.
A.5.3.2 Acceptance test plates. Acceptance test plates that comply with the
requirements of this specification are considered as part of the lot they
represent, and ownership of the test plates passes to the Government with the
acceptance of that lot. Acceptance test plates that fail to comply with the
requirements of this specification are considered as part of the lot they
represent and remain the property of the producer just as the rejectable lot
does. The failed plates will be returned, upon request, as in A.5.3.1.
