How to Use the AQL Table for Product Sampling and Inspection
Video from Asia Quality Focus. Watch on YouTube.
What you'll get
A nine-minute explainer from Asia Quality Focus, a firm that sells product inspections in Asia, on checking a sample of an order instead of every unit: why sampling is used, what an acceptable quality limit is, how to look up a sample size and the number of defects allowed in it on the standard AQL table, and a worked example. It was made for importers, but any maker can use the table to set an inspection rule with a contract factory, so learn the terms before you write a quality clause.
Do this week
Pick the defect level you would accept for one product, use the video's AQL table to find the sample size and the most defects allowed in it, and add that rule to your next purchase order or quote request.
