The table below identifies the size of sample to be taken for inspection

based on the total quantity of items received or processed. To the right of

the sample size are the number of nonconformances permissible within the
sampling to accept or reject the entire lot depending on the Acceptable
Quality Level or AQL. The AQL is established based on the criticality of
the item, the lower the AQL, the more critical the item. With the exception
of an AQL that has been defined by the customer, AQL = 1.0 is to be used
during Receiving Inspection. This table is based on ANSI/ASQC Z1.4
(formally MIL-STD-105E) and reflects those requirements for Single
sampling plans for Normal inspection.

SAMPLE AQL = 1.0 AQL = 1.5 AQL = 2.5 AQL = 4.0 AQL = 6.5
