MIL-DTL-5593E
4.5.5.2 Reduced production bulk hose. If there has been some production, but the footage of bulk
hose produced has not reached 5,000 feet (1524 m) for a specific size within three years, the
manufacturer shall perform periodic control tests on one sample of that size, for each required periodic
test, unless documented approval to not perform the test has been obtained from the qualifying activity.
4.5.5.3 Periodic samples. Manufacturers at their discretion may subject periodic test samples to
more than one periodic test, see table V. However, the manufacturer assumes all risk that the effect of
one test on a periodic test sample(s) will not have a detrimental impact on the test sample(s) when
subjected to the next test.
4.5.5.4 Disposition of test specimens. Test specimens that have been subjected to sampling and
periodic inspection, see table V, shall not be delivered on the contract or purchase order.
4.5.6 Acceptance of conformance inspection data. Required conformance tests at the hose assembly
level that were already performed at the bulk hose level may be eliminated if documented approval has
been obtained from the qualifying activity.
4.5.6.1 Acceptance of sampling and periodic inspection data. For identical requirements and test
procedures, using an identical adapter, data from conformance inspection testing performed in
accordance with MIL-DTL-38726 may be accepted as conformance inspection data for MIL-DTL-5593,
provided that documented approval has been obtained from the qualifying activity. When data from
conformance inspection testing performed in accordance with MIL-DTL-38726 is to be accepted as
conformance inspection data for MIL-DTL-5593, one hose assembly shall be considered to be the
equivalent of 2 feet (61 cm) of bulk hose.
4.5.7 Nonconformance.
4.5.7.1 Failures. If a sample fails to pass any sampling or periodic inspection, see table V, the
manufacturer shall immediately notify the qualifying activity and cognizant inspection activity of such
failure. The manufacturer shall take corrective action on the materials or processes or both as
warranted, on all units of product which can be corrected and which were manufactured under
essentially the same conditions, with essentially the same materials and processes, and which are
considered subject to the same failure.
4.5.7.2 Acceptance and shipment. Acceptance and shipment of the product shall be discontinued
until corrective action acceptable to the qualifying activity has been taken. After the corrective action
has been taken sampling and periodic inspection, see table V, shall be repeated on additional samples.
At the discretion of the qualifying activity this may include all inspections, or the inspection which the
original sample failed. Individual and sampling and periodic inspections, if applicable, may be
reinstituted. However final acceptance of the hose or hose assemblies shall be withheld until the
sampling and periodic inspection has shown that the corrective action was successful.
