BS 6001-1:1999+A1:2011, ISO 2859-1:1999

BS 6001-1:1999 + Amendment 1:2011, ISO 2859-1:1999 Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes. Sampling schemes indexed by acceptance quality limit (AQL) for lot-by-lot inspection

What is it?

BS 6001-1/ISO 2859-1 is the acceptance sampling specification for inspection by attributes. The standard is indexed according to the acceptance quality limit (AQL), which is the maximum number of defects allowed during an inspection. BS 6001-1/ISO 2859-1 outlines practical quality control methods and is designed to help you approve products during the manufacturing process. Compliance with this standard gives you the confidence of quality assurance and improves customer supplier relationships.

How does it work?

BS 6001-1/ISO 2859-1 is the international standard for statistical sample inspection in manufacturing. It outlines how to measure and control product quality and is becoming a widely recognised method of acceptance sampling. BS 6001-1/ISO 2859-1 can be applied to all manufacturing environments where lapses in quality control can be hazardous, such as pharmaceuticals. The guidelines include terms, definitions and symbols, as well as how to test samples, apply the AQL and carry out effective inspections.

Who should buy it?
