A.4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or order, the contractor is
responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein and in the device specification or
drawing.
A.4.1.1 Inspection during manufacture. The manufacturer shall establish and maintain in-process production
controls, quality controls and inspections at appropriately located points in the manufacturing process in accordance
with the procedures described in A.4.8.1.1 to assure continuous control of quality of materials, subunits, and parts

applicable acquisition documentation and quality standards of microcircuits manufactured to this appendix and the
applicable device specification or drawing.
A.4.1.1.1 Metal package isolation test for class level S devices. Prior to die mounting, each metal-bodied package
with leads glass-isolated within .005 inch (0.13 mm) of the metal body shall have 600 V dc applied between the case
and leads not connected to the case. Packages which exhibit leakage greater than 100 nA shall be rejected.
A.4.1.2 Control and inspection of acquisition sources. The manufacturer shall be responsible for assuring that all
supplies and services used in the manufacture and test of microcircuits conform to all the requirements of this
appendix, the device specification or drawing, and other provisions of the applicable acquisition documentation.
