Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes - Part 4 : procedures for assessment of declared quality levels

ISO 2859-4:2002 establishes the sampling plans and the procedures that can be used to assess whether the quality level of an entity (lot, process, etc) conforms to a declared value. The sampling plans have been devised so as to obtain a risk of less than 5 % of contradicting a correct declared quality level. The risk is 10 % of failing to contradict an incorrect declared quality level that is related to the limiting quality ratio. Sampling plans are provided corresponding to three levels of discriminatory ability. In contrast to the procedures in the other parts of ISO 2859, the procedures in ISO 2859-4:2002 are not applicable to acceptance assessment of lots. Generally, the balancing of the risks of reaching incorrect conclusions in assessment procedures will differ from the balancing in the procedures for acceptance sampling. ISO 2859-4:2002 may be used for various forms of quality inspection in situations where objective evidence of conformity to some declared quality level is to be provided by means of inspection of a sample. The procedures are applicable to entities such as lots, process output, etc. that allow random samples of individual items to be taken from the entity. The sampling plans provided in ISO 2859-4:2002 are applicable, but not limited, to inspection of a variety of products such as end items, components and raw materials, operations, materials in process, supplies in storage, maintenance operations, data or records, and administrative procedures. The procedures are primarily intended to be used when the quantity of interest is the number or fraction of nonconforming items, for which the inspected items are classified as conforming or nonconforming. With minor changes, the procedures may also be used when the quantity of interest is the number of nonconformities or number of nonconformities per item. The necessary changes are the replacement of the "number of nonconforming items" by the "number of nonconformities" and the replacement of the "percent nonconforming items" by the "nonconformities per 100 items".

Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes - Part 4 : procedures for assessment of stated quality levels

<p> La présente partie de l'ISO 2859 établit des plans et des règles d'échantillonnage qui peuvent être utilisés afin de vérifier si le niveau de qualité d'une unité (lot, procédé, etc.) est conforme au niveau déclaré de qualité. Les plans d'échantillonnage ont été conçus de manière à ce que le risque de refuser la déclaration d'un niveau de qualité correct soit inférieur à 5 % et que le risque de ne pas refuser un niveau de qualité insuffisant soit inférieur à 10 %, ce qui est conforme au ratio de limite de la qualité (voir article 4). Les plans d'échantillonnage correspondent à trois niveaux de possibilité de refus.Contrairement aux procédures prévues dans d'autres parties de l'ISO 2859, les procédures de la présente partie de l'ISO 2859 ne doivent pas être utilisées pour déterminer l'acceptabilité de lots dans la mesure où, en général, la pondération des risques de conclusions erronées lors des procédures d'évaluation est différente de la pondération des règles d'échantillonnage en vue d'acceptation.La présente partie de l'ISO 2859 peut être utilisée pour différentes modalités de contrôle de la qualité, dans des situations où l'évidence objective d'une conformité avec des niveaux déclarés de qualité doit être vérifiée en contrôlant un échantillon. Ces procédures sont applicables à des entités telles que des lots, des sortants de processus, etc. qui permettent de prélever des échantillons d'individus de manière aléatoire. </p>

Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes - Part 4 : procedures for assessment of declared quality levels

<p>This document establishes single sampling plans for conformance testing, i.e., for assessing whether the quality level of a relevant audit population (lot, process, inventory, file etc) conforms to a declared value. Sampling plans are provided corresponding to four levels of discriminatory ability. The limiting quality ratio (LQR) (see Clause 4) of each sampling plan is given for reference. For levels I-III, the sampling plans have been devised so as to obtain a risk no more than 5 % of contradicting a correct declared quality level. The risk of failing to contradict an incorrectly declared quality level which is related to the LQR is no more than 10 %. The sample sizes for level 0 are designed in a way that the LQR factors of the sampling plans are compatible with the LQR factors for level I.</p> <p>In contrast to the procedures in the other parts of the ISO 2859 series, the procedures in this document are not applicable to acceptance assessment of lots. Generally, this document mainly focuses on controlling type I error, which differs from the balancing of the risks in the procedures for acceptance sampling.</p> <p>This document can be used for various forms of quality inspection in situations where objective evidence of conformity to some declared quality level is to be provided by means of inspection of a sample. The procedures are applicable to entities such as lots, process output, etc. that allow random samples of individual items to be taken from the entity.</p> <p>The sampling plans provided in this document are applicable, but not limited, to the inspection of a variety of targets such as:</p> <p>— end items;</p> <p>— components and raw materials;</p> <p>— operations;</p> <p>— materials in process;</p> <p>— supplies in storage;</p> <p>— maintenance operations;</p> <p>— data or records;</p> <p>— administrative procedures;</p> <p>— accounting procedures or accounting entries;</p> <p>— internal control procedures.</p> <p>This document considers two types of quality models for discrete items and populations, as follows.</p> <p>i) The conforming-nonconforming model, where each item is classified as conforming or nonconforming, and where the quality indicator of a population of items is the proportion <i>p</i> of nonconforming items, or, equivalently, the percentage 100 <i>p</i> of nonconforming items.</p> <p>ii) The nonconformities model, where the number of nonconformities is counted on each item, and where the quality indicator of a population of items is the average number <i>λ</i> of nonconformities found on items in the population, or, equivalently, the percentage 100 <i>λ</i> of nonconformities on items in the population.</p>

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
