Sampling Standard and Acceptance Quality Level
TSI uses MIL-STD-105E (AQL) as its sampling standard. This standard is widely used in the inspection profession to determine whether to accept a production lot. It offers the advantage of clearly defining the number of samples to be inspected from a given lot or consignment. It also suggests the maximum number of defective items allowed in the samples size unless specified by clients. Our default Acceptance Quality Level is Level II.
