BS 6002-3:2005 - Page 4

BS 6002-3:2005 is intended for those designing sampling procedures for product inspection (in production or at customer acceptance) where there is a variable to be measured rather than a simple pass/fail and that variable is bounded by an upper and lower acceptable quality limits.

This standard provides methods that ensure that lots (batches) of acceptable quality have a high probability of acceptance and inferior lots have a high probability of being rejected.
