• 03.120.30 Application of statistical methods

This part of ISO 2859 specifies generic skip-lot sampling procedures for acceptance inspection by attributes. The purpose of these procedures is to provide a way of reducing the inspection effort on products of high quality submitted by a supplier who has a satisfactory quality assurance system and effective quality controls. The reduction in inspection effort is achieved by determining at random, with a specified probability, whether a lot presented for inspection will be accepted without inspection. This procedure extends the principle of the random selection of sample items already applied in ISO 2859‑1 to the random selection of lots.

The skip-lot sampling procedures specified in this part of ISO 2859 are applicable to, but not limited to, inspection of

1. end items, such as complete products or sub-assemblies,

2. components and raw materials, and

3. materials in process.
