APPENDIX A
A.5.1.2.4 Acceptance tests (retests). If a test plate representing a lot fails
to meet the ballistic requirements, the manufacturer immediately upon notification
of the failure has the following options:
(1) At manufacturer's expense submit two additional test plates from the
same lot for ballistic retest, or
(2) Reheat treat (quenching and tempering) the lot and then resubmit a test
plate from the retreated lot, or
(3)
Scrap the lot and submit a plate representing a new lot for acceptance.
If the manufacturer chooses any one of these options and the ballistic retest
plate (or plates) meet the requirements then the lot represented is acceptable.
If option (l) is chosen and one or both of the retest plates fail, the
manufacturer may reheat treat the lot and submit a test plate from the retreated
lot. If this plate fails the lot is rejected. If option (3) is chosen and the
test plate fails, the manufacturer may again resort to any one of the three
options.
A.5.1.3
Disposition of ballistic test plates.
A.5.1.3.1 First article test plates. Upon request of the applicant within l5
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.5.1.3.2 Acceptance test plates. Acceptance test plates that comply with the
requirements of this specification are considered as part of the lot of steel
they represent and ownership of them 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.5.1.3.1.
