Inspection standards for quality control in India

The inspection standards are tools which define acceptable quality limits, that are made understandable to all parties involved in the production process: buyer, supplier and QC company. It is important that these inspection standards are unified and applied by all parties as confirmed prior to the production launch. This article summarizes the most important inspection standards for quality control in India.

The most commonly used inspection standard for quality control inspections in India is the AQL level. This is a common abbreviation to define the sample size and quality limits. It includes:

    Sample size: General inspection level II

    Samples picking rule: drawn from square root of cartons

    Quality limits for defects per 100: critical (0), major (2.5), minor (4)

Specifications & comparison with sample

A smaller sample size serves for checking of specifications (labelling, packaging, assortment…) and to compare the production samples with the approval sample. All non-conformities are reported.

On-site tests & national regulations

An inspection should always check the usability and durability of a product. Specific tests are designed to simulate every-day usage in a short time during the inspection.

    Inspection standards should be clearly mentioned in the buyer’s purchase order which will be shared with the supplier and the QC company.
