MIL-DTL-0048684B
contractor, to meet the system reliability as defined in contract, defines the maximum
error rate allowed. However, it may not exceed 1/500 without approval of the procuring
contracting officer. Based on the maximum error rate defined for the equipment, the
contractor should develop demonstration test procedure to demonstrate the error rate of
the equipment. The test is performed using defective parts or reject standards. No part or
standard should be accepted during the test. If a part or standard is accepted, the cause for
failure should be isolated and corrected and the test rerun. Unless otherwise specified in
the detailed item specification, the minimum number of test samples to be run should be
equal to 0.7 divided by the error rate (e.g. If the expected error rate is 1/1000, the sample
size would be 0.7 divided by (1/1000) = 700.).
6.10.5 Periodic verification. Periodic verification of the system error rate should
be performed.
6.10.6 Redundant inspection equipment. The contractor may elect to use
redundant inspection equipment in lieu of using a single piece of equipment with a very
low error rate. Where redundant equipment is used, the inspection system error rate is
defined as the error rates of the multiple pieces of equipment multiplied together.
6.11 Ammunition lot numbers. Ammunition requires ammunition data cards in
accordance with MIL-STD-1168.
6.12 Energetic material qualification information. Qualification of energetic
materials by the Army Service Qualification Authority requires the contractor to
demonstrate that the energetic material meets the requirements of MIL-STD-1751 or
STANAG 4170. This task is addressed in the statement of work in the contract. Point of
contact for the Army Service Qualification Authority can be obtained from AMSRD-
AAR-QES-C.
