What is AQL sampling and limits

Question

Accepted Answer

AQL sampling is a statistical method used in quality control to determine the acceptable quality level of a product batch.

AQL stands for Acceptable Quality Level, which is the maximum percentage of defective units that is considered acceptable in a batch of products.
AQL sampling involves randomly selecting a sample of units from a batch and inspecting them for defects.
The AQL limits are predetermined values that specify the maximum number of defective units allowed in a sample for the batch to be accepted or rejected.
For example, if the AQL limit is 2.5% for a batch of 1000 units, no more than 25 defective units are allowed for the batch to be accepted.
AQL sampling helps ensure that the quality of products meets the specified standards and reduces the risk of accepting substandard products.
