This standard BS ISO 28598-2:2017 Acceptance sampling procedures based on the allocation of priorities principle (APP) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 03.120.30 Application of statistical methods

This part of ISO 28598 provides attributes sampling procedures and single sampling plans for successive independent inspections of the same lot conducted by the supplier, customer and/or a third party.

This part of ISO 28598 addresses:

• supplier inspection (final inspection, product certification upon supplier's request);

• customer inspection (incoming inspection, surveillance, acceptance sampling);

• third party inspection.

This part of ISO 28598 may also be applicable when only one inspection is needed.

A catalogue of single sampling plans is given, indexed by the normative quality limits (NQLs).

This part of ISO 28598 provides sampling procedures for:

• finished product;

• components and discrete items;

• operations;

• discrete items and the processes that produce them;

• data and records.

Attributes sampling procedures are provided for inspection of an isolated lot or a continuing series of lots of a discrete product. These procedures are applicable when a normative quality limit (NQL) is given and expressed in terms of percent nonconforming or nonconformities per 100 items.

This part of ISO 28598 provides a co-ordinated system of supplier, customer and third party acceptance sampling procedures. It is also applicable to the case where a supplier individually, or on agreement with a customer, in a contract, specifies a lot quality criterion expressed in terms of an NQL. In either case, it provides a coherent methodology for designating lots as satisfactory or unsatisfactory for shipment and proposed use.
