regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained.

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Description. The junction boxes, extensions, and covers specified in

this document shall be constructed of steel, coated with a UL approved coating,
usually zinc or cadmium, as specified (see 6.2). Their dimensions and design
shall conform to the requirements of UL 514A, UL 514B, NEMA OS-1, and Table I.
All bolts and screws shall have standard screw threads in accordance with
FED-STD-H28.

3.2 First article. When specified (see 6.2), the contractor shall furnish
one junction box, extension, and cover of each type included under a specific
contract for first article inspection and approval (see 4.2.1 and 6.4).

3.3 Standard commercial product. The junction boxes, extensions, and

covers shall, as a minimum, be in accordance with the requirements of this
specification and shall be the manufacturer's standard commercial product.
Additional or better features which are not specifically prohibited by this
specification but which are a part of the manufacturer's standard commercial
product, shall be included in the junction boxes, extensions, and covers being
furnished. A standard commercial product is a product which has been sold or is

3

W-J-800F

being currently offered for sale on the commercial market through advertisements
or manufacturer's catalogs, or brochures, and represents the latest production
model.

3.4 Materials. Materials used shall be free from defects which would
adversely affect the performance or maintainability of individual components or
of the overall assembly. Materials not specified herein shall be of the same
quality used for the intended purpose in commercial practice. Unless otherwise
specified herein, all equipment, material, and articles incorporated in the work
covered by this specification are to be new and fabricated using materials
produced from recovered materials to the maximum extent possible without
jeopardizing the intended use. The term "recovered materials" means materials
which have been collected or recovered from solid waste and reprocessed to
become a source of raw materials, as opposed to virgin raw materials. Unless
otherwise specified, none of the above shall be interpreted to mean that the use
of used or rebuilt products is allowed under this specification.

3.5 Knockouts. Knockouts shall be provided. Where applicable, location

of knockouts shall be in accordance with standards of NEMA OS-1.

3.6 Steel fabrication. The steel used in fabrication shall be free from
kinks, sharp bends, and other conditions which would be deleterious to the
finished product. Manufacturing processes shall not reduce the strength of the
steel to a value less than intended by the design. Manufacturing processes
shall be done neatly and accurately. All bends shall be made by controlled
means to insure uniformity of size and shape.

3.7 Codes and standards. The boxes, extensions, and covers shall conform
to the requirements of UL 514A and UL 514B as applicable.

3.7.1 Compliance. Prior to approval of the first shipment, the contractor

shall submit to the contracting officer, or his authorized representative,
satisfactory evidence that the boxes, extensions, and covers he proposes to
furnish under this specification meet the requirements of UL 514A and UL 514B as
applicable.

4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS

4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the

contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of
all inspection requirements (examinations and tests) as specified herein.
except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor
may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the
inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government.
The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in
this document where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and
services conform to prescribed requirements.

4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all requirements
of sections 3 and 5. The inspection set forth in this document shall become a
part of the contractor's overall inspection system or quality program. The
absence of any inspection requirements in this document shall not relieve the
contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies
submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the

4
 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com

W-J-800F

contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is an

acceptable practice to ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does
not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or
actual, nor does it commit the Government to accept defective material.

4.1.2 Component and material inspection. Components and materials shall be

inspected in accordance with all the requirements specified herein and in
applicable referenced documents.

4.1.3 Standards compliance. The contractor shall make available to the

contracting officer or his authorized representative evidence of compliance with
the applicable standard(s) cited in 3.3. The Government reserves the right to
examine and test all junction boxes, extensions, or cover plates to determine
the validity of the certification.

4.2 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified

herein are classified as follows:

a. First article inspection (see 4.2.1)

b. Quality conformance inspection (see 4.2.2)

4.2.1 First article inspection. The first article inspection shall be

performed on junction boxes, extensions, or cover plates of each type or style
when a first article is required (see 3.2 and 6.2). This inspection shall
include the examination of 4.4, the tests of 4.5, and, when specified, the first
article pack inspection of 4.6. The first article may be either a first
production item or a standard production item from the supplier's current
inventory provided the item meets the requirements of the specification and is
representative of the design, construction, and manufacturing technique
applicable to the remaining items to be furnished under the contract.

4.2.2 Quality conformance inspection. The quality conformance inspection

shall include the examination of 4.4, the tests of 4.5, and the preparation for
delivery inspection of 4.6. This inspection shall be performed on the samples
selected in accordance with 4.3.

4.3 Sampling. Sampling and inspection procedures shall be in accordance

with MIL-STD-105. The unit of product shall be one junction box, one junction
box extension, and one junction box cover. All junction boxes, junction box
extensions and junction box covers offered for delivery at one time shall be
considered a lot for the purpose of inspection.

4.3.1 Sampling for examination. Guidance for inspection level and an

Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) is provided in 6.5.

4.3.2 Sampling for tests. Guidance for inspection level and an AQL is
provided in 6.5.

4.4 Examination. Each of the samples selected shall be examined for

compliance with the requirements in section 3 of this document. This element of
inspection shall encompass all visual examinations and dimensional measurements
not involving tests. Noncompliance with any specified requirements or presence
of one or more defects preventing or lessening maximum efficiency shall
constitute cause for rejection.

W-J-800F

4.5 Tests. Each sample selected shall be tested to determine conformance to

the applicable requirements of UL 514A and NEMA OS-1. Where requirements
specified herein duplicate those of the UL standard and NEMA standard, the
applicable test need not be performed.

4.6 Preparation for delivery inspection. The inspection of the

preservation, packing, and marking shall be in accordance with the requirements
of section 4 of MIL-E-17555. The inspection shall consist of the quality
conformance inspection; and, when specified (see 6.2), a first article pack
shall be furnished for examination and test within the timeframe required (see
6.2).
