1/ For retention of qualification or extension of qualification to low failure rate levels, all life test data accumulated
on MIL-PRF-39016/54 may be used in addition to MIL-PRF-39016/53 data. Prior to performance of retention
of qualification inspection testing; the relay manufacturer shall preselect the sampling plan.
2/ The number of units required for qualification testing will be increased as required in group IV, table II, MIL-
PRF-39016, if the relay manufacturer elects to test the number of units permitting one or more failures. Prior
to the performance of qualification inspection testing the relay, manufacturer shall preselect the sample size.
