Records of examinations and tests performed by or for the contractor shall be maintained by the contractor and made available to the Government upon the Government’s request, at any time, or from time to time, during the performance of the contract and for a period of three years after delivery of the supplies to which such records relate.
Inspection. Inspection, as used herein, is defined as both examination (such as visual or auditory investigation without the use of special laboratory appliances or procedures) and testing (determination by technical means of physical and chemical properties) of the item.
Sampling for tests. Sampling for tests shall be conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-105, with an AQL of 0 (percent defective) and an inspection level of S-2. Sampling for dimensional examination shall be conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-105 with an AQL of 2.5 (percent defective) and an inspection level of S-1. The unit of product for both of the above shall be one patient utility kit.

Drop test. The wash basin, emesis basin, soap holder, and tumbler shall be dropped from a height of 36 inches onto a concrete or tile floor. The attitude of the components during the drop shall not be controlled. Any evidence of cracks, chips, or other defects on any of the components shall constitute a defect.
Temperature test. The wash basin, emesis basin, soap holder, and tumbler shall be placed on a flat surface at room temperature. They shall all be filled with water at 145oF plus or minus 5oF and left filled for one hour. Any evidence of leakage, cracks, warping, or other deformation, of any of the kit components, shall constitute a defect.
Metric Products. Products manufactured to metric dimensions will be considered on an equal basis with those manufactured using inch-pound units, providing they fall within the tolerances specified using conversion tables contained in the latest revision of Federal Standard 376, and all other requirements of this document are met.
