Test Sequence Numbers indicate the sequence in which the tests are performed. For test group sample selection see 4.1 A. 4. Quality Assurance Provisions 4.1 Qualification Testing A. Sample Selection Samples shall be prepared in accordance with applicable instruction sheets and shall be selected at random from current production. All test groups shall each consist of a minimum of 2 connectors per module and an equal number of mating connectors and modules. B. Test Sequence Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing samples as specified in Figure 2. 4.2 Requalification Testing If changes significantly affecting form, fit or function are made to product or manufacturing process, product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of original testing sequence as determined by development/product and quality engineering 4.3 Acceptance Acceptance is based on verification that product meets requirements of Figure 1. Failures attributed to equipment, test set-up or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify product. When product failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and samples resubmitted for qualification. Testing to confirm corrective action is required before resubmittal. 4 of 5 For more information visit vpc.com Rev. 7 – 8/24/15 MINI COAXIAL CONTACTS AND MODULES USER’S MANUAL: APPENDIX VIRGINIA PANEL CORPORATION 4.4 Quality Conformance Inspection A Certificate of Conformance (C of C) dimensional inspection must be completed for all samples prior to Qualification testing.
