4.6.4.2.1 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 one 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.
4.6.4.3 Periodic samples. Periodic samples may be subjected to more than one periodic test at the
discretion of the manufacturer. However, the manufacturer assumes all risk that the effect of one test
will not have a detrimental impact on the following tests.
4.6.4.4 Disposition of test specimens. Test specimens that have been subjected to sampling and
periodic inspections in table VIII shall not be delivered on the contract or purchase order.
4.6.5 Nonconformance of sampling and periodic inspections.
4.6.5.1 Failures. If a sample fails to pass sampling and periodic inspections, see table VIII, 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.
4.6.5.2 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 VIII, 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.

4.6.6.1 Retention of qualification. To retain qualification, the contractor shall submit a test report to
the qualifying activity at 12 month intervals. The qualifying activity shall establish the initial reporting date.
Each report shall consist of a summary of test and inspection results required by this specification that
were performed during the 12 month reporting interval. As a minimum, the report shall include the
following:
a.
Number of lots produced and tested, including lot and sample sizes for each lot.
b.
Identify which tests were performed.
c.
Quantities passed.
d.
Quantities failed.
e.
All reworked sampling lots shall be accounted for and identified. A summary of corrective
action taken shall be included.
4.6.7 Loss of product qualification.
4.6.7.1 Failure to meet test requirements. The manufacturer shall immediately notify the qualifying
activity at any time during the 12-month reporting period when the qualified product fails to meet the test
and inspection requirements of this specification. The manufacturer shall identify and indicate what
corrective action will be taken to correct the problem. Failure to take corrective action acceptable to the
