MIL-D-52916A(ME)
Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in
the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure supplies and services
conform to prescribed requirements.
4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items must meet all requirements of section 3
and 5. The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractor's
overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the
specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of assuring that all products or
supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all the requirements of the
contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is an acceptable practice to
ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known
defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to acceptance
of defective material.

components and materials are manufactured, examined, and tested in accordance with referenced
specifications and standards, as applicable.
4.2 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified
as follows:
