failures to be considered as critical, wherein one item
of major component items shall be visually inspected for
the defects listed in tables E-3, E-4, E-5, E-6, E-7, and
failing the test would be cause for immediately
suspending the lot from issue and use, and the test
E-8. The required samples for testing of visually-
acceptable items shall be subjected to the applicable
failures to be considered as major, wherein acceptance
or rejection of the lot would be based on the acceptance
tests described in c below. Tables E-2 through E-10, in
number of the sampling plan.
addition to providing classification of visual defects,
provide classification of test failures. The classification
a. Classification of Defects for packaging, Packing,
of test failures is provided to differentiate between the
Marking, and Preservation.
