SECTION E INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

The following quality assurance criteria, utilizing ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, Sampling Procedures and 

Tables for Inspection by Attributes, are required. Unless otherwise specified, single sampling 

plans indicated in ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 will be utilized. When required, the manufacturer shall 

provide the Certificate(s) of Conformance to the appropriate inspection activity. 

Certificate(s) of Conformance not provided shall be cause for rejection of the lot. 

 A. Definitions. 

(1) Critical defect. A critical defect is a defect that judgment and experience indicate 

would result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or 

depending on the item; or a defect that judgment and experience indicate is likely to prevent 

the performance of the major end item, i.e., the consumption of the ration. 

(2) Major defect. A major defect is a defect, other than critical, that is likely to result 

in failure, or to reduce materially the usability of the unit of product for its intended purpose. 

(3) Minor defect. A minor defect is a defect that is not likely to reduce materially the 

usability of the unit of product for its intended purpose, or is a departure from established 

standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the unit.

 B. Conformance inspection. Conformance inspection shall include the examinations/tests 

and the methods of inspection cited in this section. 

 C. Packaging examination. 

 (1) Assembled meal pouch examination. The filled and sealed horizontal form-fill 

seal meal pouches shall be inspected for the defects listed in table III. The lot size shall be 

expressed in pouches. The sample unit shall be one pouch. The inspection level shall be S-4 

and the acceptable quality limit (AQL), expressed in terms of defects per hundred units, shall 

be 2.5 for major defects and 4.0 for minor defects. A minimum of 50 samples shall be 

examined for critical defects. The finding of any critical defect shall be cause for rejection of 

the lot. The inspection sample shall contain a proportionate amount of each of the meals.

1/ An effective seal is defined as any uncontaminated, fusion bonded, continuous path, 

minimum 1/16 inch wide, producing a sealed pouch. 

2/ A missing entrée shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

3/ Outer packaging shall be free from foreign matter, which is unwholesome, has the 

potential to cause package damage (i.e. glass, metal filings, etc.), or generally detracts from 

the clean appearance of the package. The following examples shall not be scored as defects 

for unclean: 

 a. Foreign matter which presents no health hazard or potential package damage and 

which can be readily removed by gently shaking the package or by gently brushing the 

package with a clean dry cloth.

 b. Localized dried product which affects less than 1/8 of the total surface area of one 

pouch face, or an aggregate of scattered dried product which affects less than 1/4 of the total 

surface area of one pouch face.

4/ For definition of crushed or broken, refer to applicable ration component document. 

5/ A CoC may be accepted as evidence of conformance.

 D. Methods of inspection. 

 (1) Meal pouch closure testing. The closure seals of the meal pouches shall be tested 

for seal strength in accordance with internal pressure testing requirements in this paragraph. 

The lot size shall be expressed in pouches. The sample unit shall be one pouch. The sample 

size shall be the number of pouches indicated by inspection level S-1. The filled and sealed 

meal pouches shall be inserted into a vacuum chamber (bell jar wet or dry) for 30 seconds at 

15 inches of mercury vacuum. The vacuum shall be held constant for 30 seconds and then 

released. The pouches shall then be examined for separation or yield of the heat seals. Any 

burst of the seal or movement in the seal that reduces the seal width to less than 1/16 inch is 

considered a seal failure and shall be cause for rejection of the lot. 

 E. Packing. 

(1) Shipping container and marking examination. The filled and sealed shipping 

containers shall be examined for the defects listed in table IV. The lot size shall be expressed

flaps, loose strapping, inadequate stapling, improper taping, or bulged or distorted container. 

2/ A missing meal shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

 (2) Flap closure testing. The lot size shall be expressed in shipping containers. The 

sample unit shall be one shipping container. The inspection level shall be S-2 and the AQL, 

expressed in terms of defects per hundred units, shall be 4.0. The closure of the four outer 

flaps of the container shall be tested separately. A 90 degree angular bar with each leg 

approximately 5 inches long by 3 inches wide by 1/8 inch thick shall be used to test the flap 

closures. Insert one leg of the angular bar full length under the center of one outer flap. 

Insertion shall be made through the open slot between the outer flaps. Lift the container 

vertically by the other leg of the bar until the container is suspended. The complete upper 

surface of the inserted leg shall be in contact with the inner surface of the flap during the 

lifting and suspension of the container. Complete separation of the adhesive bond of one or 

more of the outer flaps, showing no evidence of fiber tear, shall be scored as a major defect.
