Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-L-T-80C 5 4.2 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2), the contrac

31、tor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements (examinations and tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2), the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection require

32、ments specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in this specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. 4.2.1 In-process inspectio

33、n.
