production related to the failure(s) will be excluded from delivery pending the outcome of further investigation Within a period of four weeks or within a period to be agreed upon, the manufacturer will be reassessed with respect to the rejected non-conforming product; six of these products will be tested After satisfactory retesting of all these units delivery may recommence A.5 Non-conforming products If during the factory production control non-conforming products are detected, the manufacturer's quality control stops the production related to the failure(s) All non-conforming products
