the tests of 4.4. The first article may be either a first production item or a standard production

specification and is representative of the design, construction, and manufacturing technique
applicable to the remaining items to be furnished under the contract.
4.2.2 Quality conformance inspection. The quality conformance inspection shall include the
examination of 4.3 and the tests of 4.4.
4.2.3 On-site inspection. When specified (see 6.2), inspection shall be performed at the site after
installation. This inspection shall be in addition to quality conformance inspection at the factory
and shall be supplemental to first article inspection, if such inspection is specified. On-site
inspection shall consist of all examinations and tests deemed necessary by the procuring activity to
verify compliance with the requirements of this specification. On-site inspection shall be
performed by the filter manufacturer or the installing contractor, as specified (see 6.2). The
manufacturer shall have the privilege of representation at tests performed by others. Detailed
requirements and schedule for the on-site tests shall be as specified in the contract or order
(see 6.2).
4.3 Examination. Each filter selected shall be examined for compliance with the requirements
specified in section 3 of this document. Any redesign or modification of the contractor's standard
product to comply with specified requirements, or any necessary redesign or modification
following failure to meet specified requirements shall receive particular attention for adequacy and
suitability. This element of inspection shall encompass all visual examinations and dimensional
measurements. Noncompliance with any specified requirements or presence of one or more
defects preventing or lessening maximum efficiency shall constitute cause for rejection.
4.4 Tests. The first article shall receive the tests of 4.4.1 and 4.4.2. Each production unit shall
receive the test of 4.4.1. Failure to pass any test shall constitute cause for rejection.
