4.6.2 Periodic group B inspection. Group B inspection shall consist of the examinations and tests specified in
table X in the order shown.
4.6.2.1 Sampling plan. Group B inspection shall be performed once every 2 months on samples from each
inspection lot (see 4.6.1.1). A sample, consisting of twelve specimens of voltage ratings representing a fair cross-
section of the lot and of the highest watt-second rating in each voltage category, shall be selected for each of
subgroups 1, 2, and 3 at random from each lot. Every 12 months, 12 sample capacitors that have completed the
group A life test, shall be subjected to the extended life test of subgroup 4, in accordance with 4.7.16.3. Shipments of
lots shall not be delayed pending results of the life test, except as specified in 4.6.2.3. Not more than one defective
capacitor will be allowed for a single sample (12 specimens).

1/ The time period for shock and vibration tests is a minimum of once every 24 months.
2/ If the manufacturer can demonstrate that this test has been performed five consecutive times with zero failure,
this test, with the approval of the qualifying activity, can be deleted. The manufacturer, however, shall perform
this test every 3 years after the deletion as part of long term design verification. If the design, material,
construction processing of the part is changed, or if there are any quality problems, the qualifying activity may
require resumption of the specified testing. Deletion of testing does not relieve the manufacturer from meeting
the test requirements in case of dispute.
