4.4.7.1 Inspection. Cabinets delivered for acceptance under contract or order shall be inspected as specified in 4.4.9. Any defect shall provide reason to reject the product. Rejected cabinets may be reworked to correct defects and they may be resubmitted for acceptance. Reworked cabinets shall be so indicated to the Government inspector.
4.4.7.2 Testing. Periodically, during the term of the contract, the Government inspector, at a time convenient to the Government, will select samples of the manufacturer's regular production and subject them to the tests in 4.4.8. This acceptance testing shall be performed by a Government agency specifically designated by the General Services Administration. Failure of the cabinet to meet any one or more of these tests shall provide reason to suspend acceptance of the manufacturer's product until the Government is satisfied that all defects have been corrected.
4.4.8 Test methods.
4.4.8.1 Door test. For the purpose of this test the cabinet shall be empty and shall not be anchored to the floor. The cabinet door shall be opened 90 degrees from its closed position and 68 kg of weight shall be loaded on the top edge of the door opposite and furthermost from the hinged side. The cabinet shall be allowed to remain in this condition for approximately 24
hours. The cabinet shall then be examined. It shall have failed the test if the weighted door has caused the cabinet to tip over or if the door fails to operate easily and smoothly.
4.4.8.2 Drop tests. All sample cabinets shall be subjected to the tests specified in 4.4.8.2.1 and 4.4.8.2.2. Cabinets shall be loaded with weight to simulate 68 kg of stored material. Cabinets shall then be locked and drop tested as specified. Style A cabinets shall tested with channel base assembly attached.
4.4.8.2.1 Nine hundred fifteen millimeter test. The cabinet shall be raised until its base is
915 mm above the floor surface. It shall then be allowed to free fall, onto a hard, level,
concrete surface or equal surface. Any resulting lockout requiring destructive force to open the cabinet door shall provide reason to consider the cabinet as having failed to withstand the test.
4.4.8.2.2 Nine meter test. The cabinet shall be raised until its base is 9 m above the floor surface. It shall then be allowed to free fall, base down, onto a hard, level, concrete surface or equal surface. Any damage which results in the releasing or making accessible without further force, any part of the stored material shall provide reason to consider the cabinet as having failed to withstand the test.
4.4.8.3 Channel base assembly test. This test shall only apply to Style A cabinets. The cabinet, loaded as specified in 4.4.8.2, shall be locked and then raised until the bottom of the channel base assembly is 152 mm above the floor surface. The cabinet shall then be allowed to free fall base down, onto a hard level concrete surface or equal surface. The test shall not cause appreciable distortion to the assembly nor weaken its attachment to the cabinet.
