3. REQUIREMENTS
*3.1 First article. When specified (see 6.2), a sample shall be subjected to first article
inspection (see 4.2 and 6.2).
3.2 Materials and components. The materials and components used shall conform to the
applicable referenced specifications, standards and requirements specified herein. Where materials
are not definitely specified, they shall be of the quality normally used by the manufacturer in his
standard commercial practice provided the completed items comply with all provisions of this
specification.
3.2.1 Alternate components. Components offered as equivalent to components specified
hereinafter and on the referenced drawings as s specific manufacturer's part or model number or
equal, shall be functionally equal to the manufacturer's model number identified and of equal or
better quality. The incorporation and inclusion of such a component in the design of the specified
end product shall not require modification or change to any other specified component and shall
not reduce ease of maintenance to it or any other components unless such modification or change
is approved by the contracting officer. Prior to the manufacture of the first article, or if none is
required, prior to commencing production the contractor shall submit for the contracting officer's
approval, a list identifying each component, together with proof that each listed component
complies with the requirements of this document. The contracting officer may require a sample of
the proposed substitution. Approval of the submitted listing, together with the necessary
supporting data, authorizes commencement of manufacture but does not relieve the contractor of
the responsibility that these components perform in accordance with specified requirements when
incorporated into the end product.

conform to Drawing 5-4-6341-1 and all subsidiary drawings and parts lists and as specified herein.
