Visual inspection shall be performed by a person with normal visual acuity, natural or
corrected, without magnification, at a normal reading distance. The lighting of inspection
areas shall provide at least 50 foot candles on surfaces being inspected. Each cloth to be
inspected shall be individually placed on a flat surface which is free of foreign material.
4.3.3 Noncompliance. If a sample fails to pass inspection, the manufacturer shall notify
the purchasing activity's contracting officer of such failure and take corrective action on the
materials or processes, or both, as warranted, and on all units of product which can be
corrected and which are manufactured under essentially the same materials and processes,
and which are considered subject to the same failure. Acceptance and shipment of the product
shall be discontinued until corrective action, acceptable to the purchasing activity's contracting
officer, has been taken. After the corrective action has been taken, inspection shall be repeated
on additional sample units (all tests and examinations, or the test which the original sample
failed, at the option of the purchasing activity's contracting officer). Inspections may be
reinstituted; however, final acceptance and shipment shall be withheld until the inspection has
shown that the corrective action was successful. In the event of failure after reinspection,
information concerning the failure shall be furnished to the purchasing activity's contracting
officer.
4.4 Test for absorbency. The samples of fabric for absorbency shall be spread out on a
non-absorbent surface. Drops measuring at least 0.04 milliliter in volume of water and light
machine oil shall be applied separately to each sample through a capillary by allowing the drops
to fall continuously and freely onto the sample from a height of ½ to 2 inches. After a time
interval of 30 seconds, the samples shall be examined and the absorption and non-absorption
of the water and oil reported. The sample is considered non-absorbent, and therefore shall be
rejected, if the water or oil is not absorbed but remains wholly or partly above the surface of the
fabric or the supporting surface.
