facility designated by the procuring activity. Samples shall consist of units that have satisfactorily passed the
acceptance tests and examinations detailed in 4.7, selected as follows:

satisfactory compliance of samples selected from 3 consecutive groups, proceed to step 2.
b. Step 2. Randomly select 1 unit from each group of 25 units. Upon satisfactory compliance of
samples selected from 3 consecutive groups, proceed to step 3.
c. Step 3. Randomly select 1 unit from each group of 50 units. Continue with step 3 for the balance
