MIL-F-50994 (MU)
4.1.2.1 Use of simulated defect standards. - The following
listed verified inspections shall be validated and inspection equip-
ment verified hourly using Design Agency approved item facsimiles
or standards containing the defects and supplied by the contractor.
The contractor shall resupply the item facsimiles when it is deter-
mined by the Government that the facsimilies are no longer represen-
tative enough of the product to make it unidentifiable to the con-
tractor inspection personnel, or it is not functioning in the neces-
sary manner and cannot be corrected satisfactorily. These standards
should be representative of defects actually found or anticipated.
They should be inert and readily identifiable to the Government to
ensure recovery should they be inadvertently introduced into pro-
duction. Simulated defect standards used to verify the following
verified inspections should be constructed and identified in such
a manner that they are not readily recognizable to the contractor
inspection personnel as defect standards. Standards should be used,
so that their number, time, and sequence of introduction into the
inspection cycle is known only to those personnel responsible for
checking the accuracy of the operation. Adequacy of the standards
shall be verified at least once each shift.

established for the corrective action to be taken where the equip-

as defective. These provisions shall include a reinspection of all
acceptable material subsequent to the last acceptable verification
check as a minimum.
