4.4.5.1.1 Contractor testing. Prior to the selection of samples for end item verification testing,
the contractor shall test for porosity in accordance with 4.5.2. For Type I and Type II gloves the lot
size shall be expressed in units of one glove. The sample unit shall be one glove and the sample size
shall be by pairs. Each glove of the pair shall be tested for porosity. The table below shall be used to
determine the sample size for porosity testing. The sample size was generated in accordance with
ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, general inspection level II, Normal Inspection (Tables 1 and II_A). Any Type I or
Type II glove found to leak shall be cause for rejection of the lot represented by the sample. For Type
III gloves, each glove shall be tested for porosity. Any glove found to leak shall be rejected.

*4.4.5.1.2 End item verification testing, porosity (Types I, II and III). For all glove types the
lot size shall be expressed in units of one glove. The sample unit shall be one glove and the sample size
shall be by pairs. Each glove of the pair shall be tested for porosity. The table below shall be used to
determine the sample size for porosity testing. The sample size was generated in accordance with
ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, General Inspection Level II, Normal Inspection (Tables I and II-A). Any glove
found to leak shall be cause for rejection of the lot represented by the sample.

*4.4.5.2 Government acceptance tests (see 6.7). The Government shall perform acceptance
tests for sulfur mustard (HD) resistance and sarin (GB) resistance. The sample unit shall be two pairs of
gloves and the inspection level shall be S-2. The table below shall be used to determine the sample size.
These tests are considered critical and any failure shall be cause for rejection of the lot represented by
the sample.
