4.9.2.3
Retests.
4.9.2.3.1 Chemical composition and mechanical properties. Retests shall be
conducted in accordance with ASTM B557, test methods of ASTM E34, or E607, E227,
and E1251 of ASTM E716.
4.9.2.3.2 Ballistics. If test forgings representing the lot fail to meet the
ballistic requirements, the manufacturer has the following options: Immediately
upon notification of the failure, the manufacturer may:
(1) submit two additional test forgings from the same lot for
ballistic retest at own expense, or
(2) first reprocess the lot and then submit two test forgings from
the reprocessed lot, or
(3)
scrap the lot and submit a forging representing a new lot for
acceptence.
If any of these options are chosen and ballistic retest forgings meet the
requirements, then the lot represented is acceptable. If the manufacturer
chooses option (1) and one or both of the retest forgings fail, the manufacturer
may reprocess the lot and submit two forgings from the reprocessed lot. If one
of these fail the lot is rejected. If option (3) is chosen and the test forging
fails, the manufacturer may again resort to any one of the three options.
4.10 Reduced testing. At the discretion of the procuring activity, the amount
of testing may be reduced provided the results on consecutive lots indicate that
a uniform product meeting the testing requirements is being produced, and
providing the manufacturer agrees to maintain the same manufacturing procedures.
The manufacturer when eligible for reduced or audit testing may at his option,
continue to submit one ballistic test plate or forging per lot of material. The
test facility shall only test the non-required test plates or forgings upon
manufacturer's loss of reduced testing eligibility.

PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as
specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel
is to be performed by DoD personnel, these personnel need to contact the
responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements.
Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging
activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military
Department's System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-
ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
