AQL inspector’s Rule
For a AQL inspector, AQL is the easy way to confirm sample sizes and allowable defects.
With the increasing reliance on AQL check by attributes, a range of people from Quality Assurance Engineers to Inspectors with minimum technical coaching using sampling plans based the AQL standards: MIL-STD-105E, ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003 (R2013) or ISO 2859-1 (1999). The AQL Inspector’s Rule is intended to supply this data in a simple to use format. Its growing quality since it had been initial introduced in 1968 indicates it worth.
The AQL Inspector’s Rule’s easy style saves times and reduces confusion. All the information is handily sorted in order that the sampling plan will be read off instantly. The rule covers a good vary of AQL’s (.065 to 15) with traditional, Tightened and Reduced check for each single and double sampling plans. It stiffly adheres to 3 inspection standards: MIL-STD-105E, ANSI/ASQC Z1.4-1993, ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003, ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008 and ISO 2859-1 (1999).
The AQL Inspector’s Rule is predicated on check by attributes to be used in sampling review, measuring, examination, testing or otherwise comparison the unit of production with specific needs of continuous series of tons or batches. AQL sampling plans are used for, however not restricted to, the following: parts, raw materials, end items, operations, materials in process, provides in storage, maintenance operations, knowledge or records and administrative procedures.
An AQL Inspection Manual comes with every AQL Inspector’s Rule with data on AQL sampling and directions on use of the rule and dictionary or terms. Besides being a time saving tool on the duty, the AQL Inspector’s Rule, combined with the manual makes a valuable coaching aid.

- ANSI English version. This is often the initial version of the AQL Inspector’s Rule introduced in 1968. The Rule and Manual are both in English. This version conforms to standards:
o MIL-STD-105E
o ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003 (R2013) and previsous versions:
- ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008 (also documented as ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003 (R2008)
- ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003
- ANSI/ASQC Z1.4-1993
- ANSI Spanish version. The Spanish version of the AQL Inspector’s Rule was inducted in July 1999 to support the growing worldwide use of the AQL Inspector’s Rule. The Rule and Manual have each been translated into Spanish. This version conforms to standards:
o MIL-STD-105E
o ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003 (R2013) and previsous versions:
- ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008 (also reference as ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003 (R2008)
- ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003
- ANSI/ASQC Z1.4-1993
- ISO English version. The ISO version was introduced in August 2002 in response to the 1999 revision of the ISO 2859-1 normal. The revision changes created this normal diverge for the MIL-STD-105E and ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 standards. This version conforms to standard:
o ISO 2859-1 (1999)
