rmly throughout the balance of the 100 production splices under investigation should be tested, and an independent laboratory analysis should be made to identify the cause of all failures. The results of these tests should be evaluated by the designer of the structure and the licensee to determine the required corrective action. The designer and the licensee should specify the extent of repairs necessary and the actions required to prevent further failures from the identified causes. If two or more splices from any of these six additional splice samples fail to meet the tensile test specification of paragraph 3a. above, the balance of the 100 production splices under investigation should be rejected and replaced. When mechanical splicing is resumed, the sampling procedure should be started anew. b. If the average tensile strength of the 15 consecutive samples fails to meet the provisions of paragraph 3b. above, the designer of the structure and the licensee should evaluate and assess the acceptability of the reduced average tensile strength with respect to the rdquired strength. at the location from which the samples were taken. 1.10-3
