MIL-C-53057(ME)
the examination and tests specified in 4.7 shall be cause for
rejection of the inspection comparison crane(s) and shall be cause
for refusal by the Government to continue acceptance of production
cranes until evidence has been provided by the contractor that
corrective action has been taken to eliminate the deficiencies.
Correction of such deficiencies shall be accomplished by the
contractor at no cost to the Government on cranes yet to be produced
by the contract. Any deficiencies found as a result of the inspection
comparison will be considered prima facie evidence that all cranes
accepted prior to the completion of inspection comparison are
similarly deficient unless evidence to the contrary is furnished by
the contractor and such evidence is acceptable to the contracting
officer. Where cranes previously accepted by the Government are
determined to be deficient, the contractor will negotiate with the
Government to determine the method of correction.

of the crane shall be inspected as specified in appendix B of
MIL-STD-162.
