Sampling Inspections: Explained

In sampling inspections, a percentage of the total received units are available for inspection.

With sampling inspections:

• Even if one sample in the lot fails the inspection, the entire lot is rejected.

• Similarly, if the samples selected for inspection passes the inspection, the entire lot is accepted.

On the contrary, when sampling is not enabled, each individual unit is accepted and rejected separately.

Note: For receiving inspections, when sampling is enabled, during the inline inspection, if one or more samples fail the inspection, and the entire lot is rejected, you can choose to inspect all units. Then the inspection ceases to be a sampling inspection. You can then inspect all units, reject or accept each unit separately. This saves the entire lot from getting rejected.
