QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1. Qualification Testing A. Specim en Selection Specim ens shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction Sheets and shall be selected at random from current production. Each test group shall consist of a m inim um of 5 specim ens installed in ARINC connectors with printed circuit board type or crim p style Quadrax contacts. B. Test Sequence Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing specim ens as specified in Figure 2. 4.2. Requalification Testing If changes significantly affecting form , fit or function are m ade to the product or m anufacturing process, product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of the original testing sequence as determ ined by developm ent/product, quality and reliability engineering. 4.3. Acceptance Acceptance is based on verification that the product m eets the requirem ents of Figure 1. Failures attributed to equipm ent, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. If product failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and specim ens resubm itted for qualification. Testing to confirm corrective action is required before resubm ittal. 4.4. Quality Conform ance Inspection The applicable quality inspection plan shall specify the sam pling acceptable quality level to be used. Dim ensional and functional requirem ents shall be in accordance with the applicable product drawing and this specification. Rev B 6 of 6
