0.1 General
ISO 2859 comprises four parts:
Part 0: General introduction.
Part 1: Sampling plans indexed by acceptable quality level
(AOL) for lot-by-lot inspection"
Part 2: Sampling plans indexed by limiting quality (LO) for
isolated lot inspection.
Part 3: Skip lot sampling plan.
ISO 2859/1 sampling plans, indexed in terms of AOL, which is
defined as a process average, were primarilv designed for the
assessment of a continuing series of lots. This enables
switchinq rules to be employed which not only give protection
to the consumer (by the switch to tightened inspection and
discontinuation where necessary) but also provide an incentive
to the producer (by the switch to reduced inspection) with a
reduction to test and inspection costs (when consistently good
quality is achieved). However, there is little doubt that in many
industrial situations today the switching rules are not applied
for a variety of reasons or excuses, ilbt all of which may be
valid:
a) individual ISO 2859/1 plans are used alone but "AOL"
protection is still claimed or AOL re-defined, to suit "so-
called unique products";
tion may need to be attained or measured by other methods"
This part of ISO 2859 uses the limiting quality to measure con-
sumer protection, lt should be remembered, however. that
prior information on the supplier's quality assurance system
and its effectiveness may play a major part in deciding whether
or not to accept a single lot.
0.2 Objectives
ln an attempt to reconcile the somewhat diverse requests for
assistance made over the past few years by cornmittees of
international standardizing bodies representing various product
sectors, this part of ISO 2859 was drawn up in accordance with
the following principles:
a) the new LQ plans can be easily integrated with the
existing AOL plans in ISO 285911;
b) the LO indexing uses a preterred series of values that
cannot be confused with the preferred series of AOL values;
c) the five basic numbers associated with a single sarnpl-
ing plan, i.e. lot size, sample size, acceptance number, AOL
(or quality accepted with probability 0,951 and LO, appear in
the same table, whenever possible"

b) "our industry... product is soecial so ISO 2859/l stan-

1 Scope and field of application
1.1 Scope
This part of ISO 2859 establishes LQ sampling plans and pro-
cedures for inspection by attributes compatible with ISO 285g/l
that can be used when the switching rules given in ISO
8N/lare not applied. for example, when lots are of an isolated
nature.
The plans in this part of ISO 2859 are indexed by a preferred
series of limiting qualities (LO with a consumer's risk usually
below 10 %, but always below 13 %. This method of indexing
perrnits the "ad-hoc" procedurel) mentioned in sub-clause
12.6 of ISO 2859/1 to be implemented as a standard procedure.
NOTE -
The plans in ISO 2859/1 are indexed by a preferred series of
AOL values and inspection levels. During the inspection of a continu-
ing series of lots the application of switching rules helps to ensure that
the process average in that series of lots is kept below the specified
AOL. l-imiting quality does not have the same direct relationship with
the process average (see 3.5.11.
1.2 Field of application
Alternative procedures are provided in this part of ISO 2859 to
cater for two situations often met in practice:
a! Procedure A, to be used when the supplier and con-
sumer both wish to regard the lot in isolation. The tables are
based on random sampling from finite lots for both con-
sumer and producer risks. This orocedure shall be used
unless there is a soecific instruction to use orocedure B,
bl Procedure B, to be used when the supplier regards the
lot as one of continuing series but the consumer considers
the lot received in isolation. The tables are based on random
sampling from a finite lot for consumer's risk at the limiting
quality, but random sampling from a process for the pro-
ducer's risk and the tabulated values of the operating
characteristic (OCl curves. Tie plans used are a selection of
the plans available in ISO 2859/1 so thai a producer can
maintain consistent procedures for customers whether or
not they receive individual lots or a continuing series of lots.
This procedure is suitable for inclusion in product standards
or specifications that contain sampling clauses" The
manufacturer will be concerned with all of his production,
but the individual consumer onlv with the particular lot
received.
2 Definitions
The definitions given in ISO 2859/1 shall apply.
3 Choice of sampling plan
3.1 Speclfying a sampling ptan
When reference is made to this part of ISO 2959 in a contract or
specification, it is necessary to specify the procedure to be
used (i.e" either A or B). ln the absence of any reference to
either procedure, then procedure A shall be used.
1l ISO 2859/ 1 sub-clause 12.6.2. states : "lf the lot or batch is of an isolated nature. it may be desirable to limit the selection of sampling plans to
those, associated with a designatod AOL value, that provide not less than a specified limiting quality protectioh. Sampling plans for this puipose can
be selocted by choosing a limiting quality (LQl and a consume/s risk to be associated *ith it. Tables 6 and 7 give piocess levels for which the
probabifities of lot acceptance under various sampling plans are 10 lo and 5 %, respectively." This part
the LQ and allows the consumer,s risk to vary as indicated above.
2
3.2 Choice of sampling proceduro
Although procedure A is based on the hypergeometric distribu-
tion for sampling results, this distribution is well approximated
by the binomial distribution for plans with non-zero acceptance
numbers in procedure A. Hence the OC curves for these plans
are well approximated by the tabulated performance of the
same plans in procedure B. However, procedure A uses plans
with acceptance number zero and with sample sizes based on
the hypergeometric distribution of sampling results while pro-
cedure B excludes accept zero plans, replabing them with
100 % inspection.
The choice between the procedures is dominated by the at-
titude towards accept zero plans. Procedure A uses accept zero
plans linking the sample size and the lot size by the
hypergeometric distribution until the proposed plan cor-
responds to the accept zero plan in ISO 2859/1 corresponding
to that limiting quality. Thereafter the progression of sampling
size and acceptance number with lot size is based on the in-
spection levels available in ISO 2859/1. The overall effect of
procedure A resembles inspection level ll for limiting quality
less than 8 % and level I for limiting quality greater than 8 7o
with 8 % being intermediate between these levels.
Procedure B provides greater flexibility in the choice of inspec-
tion levels. The tabulated OC curves are based on the prob-
ability of producing a nonconforming unit so thgy are approxi-
mately.correct for small sampling fractions but as the sampling
fraction increases the curves (and tables) underestimate the
probability of acceptance for good quality and underestimate
the probability of rejection for poor quality. For sufficiently
small lots. procedure B requires 100 % inspection.
Both procedures treat the limiting quality (LOl as the actual
percent nonconforming units in the submitted lots and the
probability of acceptance at this limiting quality can be found in
table Dl for procedure A and tables 81 to B10for procedure B.
Procedure B is indicated as the appropriate procedure if the
manufacturer is concerned with a continuing series of lots;
whether or not these go to the same consumer. Procbdure A is
indicated as the appropriate procedure when the lot is a single
lot and shall be used if accept zero plans are required to be part
of the sampling scheme.
3.3 Procedure A (use table A)
A plan is identified by the lot size and the limiting quality (LO).
with the specified lot size and limiting quality as indexing
values, the sampling size (nl and acceptance number (Ac) are
given in table A.
of ISO 2859 esiablishes preferred values for

Although the primary index to these tables is the limiting quality
(LO), the producer/supplier needs guidance on the quality level
required if lots are to have a high probability of acceptance. ln-
formation on the producer's risk point is contained in table Dl.
lnformation on the probability of acceptance ol relatively good
lots by accept zero plans is given in table D2.
3.4 Procedure B (use tables B)
A plan is identified by the lot size, limiting quality (LO) and the
inspection level (unless otherwise specified, level ll shall be
used).
The specified limiting quality is used to select the appropriate
table from tables Bl to 810. Within each table the specified lot
size and inspection level indicate the appropriate sample size
(nl and acceptance number (Ac). Although the primary index
to the table is the limiting quality (LO), the producer/supplier
needs guidance on the quality level required if lots are to have a
high probability of acceptance. Each table gives information on
the equivalent AOL and details of the OC curves. The OC
curves are indexed by the sample size code letter used in
ISO 2859/1 and the acceptance number.
The OC curves given under tables 81 to 810 are based on the
Poisson/binomial distribution; the actual operating charac-
teristic will be more discriminating than these curves by accept-
ing with greater probability when the indicated probability
is > 0,90 and with a smaller probability when the indicated
probability is < 0,10.
3.5 Choice of parameters for the sampling
procedures
3.5.1 Limiting quality (LQ)
Unlike the AOL, which prpvides a guide for the producer on the
level or quality he needs to produce so that hB can satisfy the
acceptance criteria (sampling clauselrmost of the time, the
limiting quality does not provide a reliable guide for the con-
sumer as to the true quality of the accepted lots. For this reason
the limiting quality should be chosen realistically at a minimum
of three times the desired quality.
This enables the producer/supplier to provide lots of the
desired quality and still have a reasonable probability of accep-
tance for the submitted lots, at least for acceptance numbers 3.
5, 10 and 18. For acceptance number 1 plans the lots have to
have a quality better than LOlg and for acceptance number zero
plans the lots have to be perfect or nearly perfct before the
probability of acceptance rises to 0,95 or greater. The limiting
values are restricted to a set of preferred values and the plans
are intended to be used with these preferred values, lf these
plans are introduced where a non-standard limiting quality is
already specified, the plans should be entered with the prefer-
red value {LO} corresponding to the interval containing the
non-standard value (Ll listed in column 4 of table C. Columns 2
and 3 of table C contain information on the consumer's risk
qualities (CRO) found in tables Bl to 810 for consumer's risks
of 10 % and 5 0,6.
tso 2859/2-1985 (El
Example:
The limiting quality has previously been set at 3,5 %. This is
not a preferred value and the tables shall be entered by
using the nominal limiting quality LO =3,15 06, since
3,5 % lies in the range 2,5 % < LO <4,0 %.
3.5,2 lnspectlon level
ln the ISO 2859/1 procedures, increased sample size cor-
responds to a greater protection for the consumer, ln this part
of ISO 2859, consumer protection is held approximately cons-
tant and the effect of increasing sample size is to permit the
supplier greater latitude in the permitted proceSs averages, lf
the consumer is satisfied by the protection provided against an
occasional poor lot by the nominal limiting quality, then the in-
spection level is primarily of interest to the supplier, especially if
the costs of the sampling inspection are borne by him. A pro-
cess average well below the limiting quality (better quality)
would allow the use of smaller sample sizes. Conversely, if the
consumer is concerned with actual rather than limiting quality,
or if he pays for the sampling costs, then greater inspection
levels are not necessarily advantageous. For this reason, in-
spection level lll provided by ISO 2859/1 has not boon incor-
porated in this part of ISO 2859 for limiting qualities greater
than 5 %. When sample sizes have to be kept srnall and other
considerations are secondary, specifying level S-2 has the ef-
fect of providing a fixed sample size for all lot sizes, the sample
size depending only on the limiting quality.
4 Rules for acceptance and non-acceptance
4.1 Sampling
Once the sampling plan has been determined as in clause 3, the
specified sample units shall now be drawn at random from the
lot, and all units in the sample inspected.
4.2 Acceptance
lf the number of nonconforming units. or the total number of
nonconformities, found in the sample is equal to or less than
the acceptance number (Ac) specified in the plan. the lot shall
be accepted.
4.3 Nonconformingunits
Notwithstanding that the lot is accepted, any nonconforming
units found during inspection, whether forming part of the
sample or not, shall be rejected.
4.4 Non-acceptanceand resubmission
lf the number of nonconforming units found in the sample is
greater than the acceptance number (Ac), the lot is unaccep-
table. An unacceptable lot may not be resubmitted for inspec-
tion unless
a) the Responsible Authority agrees. and
b) all units in the lot have been re-examined or retested
and all nonconforming units have been removed or replaced
by go6d units or nonconformities have been corrected.
tso 285!l/2-1S (E)
lf the Responsible Authoritv agrees to the resubmission of an
unacceptable lot, he shall determine the method of acceptance
inspection to be applied (i.e. LO and/or inspection levell and
whether re-inspection shall include all types or classes of non-
conformities or only those that caused the initial rejection'
5 Double and multiple sampling plans
Tables D3 and D4 provide the sample sizes and acceptance pat-
terns for the double and multiple sampling plans in ISO 2859/1
equivalent to the single sampling plans given in tables 81 to
810. The sample size code agrees with that in ISO 2859/1 and
the acceptance pattern code is the acceptance number in the
corresponding single size plans. Since procedure A and pro-
cedure B plans have similar OC curves for non-zero acceptance
numbers, these double and multiple plans can also be used in
procedure A to replace the corresponding single sampling plan.
fhe user is referred to 11 .1 .2 and 11 .1.3 in ISO 2859/ 1 for the
operation of these double and multiple sampling plans.
6 Examples illustrating how to use this part
of lso 2859
6.1 A consumer wishes to purchase prepacked sets of 10
screws to include in the self-assembly bookcase kits he plans to
sell" While he prefers each set to contain exactly 10 screws, he
can tolerate I % of packs with fewer screws but he does not
want to risk accepting a much higher percentage of deficient
packs. He plans to produce 5 000 kits in lots of I 250.
The supplier agrees to use procedure A with nominal limiting
quality 3,15 Yo. For lots of size 1 250, the selected plan has
n= 125, Ac = 1.
The supplier offers to provide the packs needcd for all 5 000 kits
as a single lot. The new sampling plan has n = N, Ac = 3.
The single lot requires proportionately fewer tested items and
yet the sampling plan still provides a high probability of rejec-
tion for quality as poor as 3.15 %, while increasing the prob-
ability of acceptance for a lot of quality 1 % from 0,04 to 0,86.
6"2 The same consumer wishes to purchase the wooden
components of his self-assembly bookcase kit as standard-size,
plastic-faced chipboard panels. The supplier produces these
panels as part of his regular production and regards the 7 500
panels needed for each lot of 1 250 kits as single lots in the
general stream of supply to DIY shops. Scars to the plastic
facing occur with probability 0,025 according to quality control
checks. The consumer can tolerate some scarred panels since
these can be detected and set aside during the processing to
4
produce the bookcase kit, but he decides that if 5 % of the
panels were scarred this would present problems during the
processing.
The consumer and supplier agree that procedure B is ap-
propriate and select nominal limiting quality 5,0 % with inspec-
tion level S-4. The parimeters of the sampling plan for a lot size
of 7 500 is a = 80, Ac = 1. \Mth this plan the probabiliry of
acceptance with the current process averags is less than 0,5' A
lot which is unacceptable has to be 100 % inspected before use
and this high probability of non-acceptance implies inspection
costs larger than desirable'
lnspection level lll would have provided a sampling plan with
a = 315 and Ac = 10. The current process average would
produce lots with a probability of acceptance greatr than 0,80.
A supplier with a better process average, say 1 %, would ob-
tain a similar probability of acceptance with inspection level
S-4, This illustrates the ability of better suppliers to work with
smaller sample sizes whilst still meeting the same limiting qual-
ity criterion,
7 CompatibilitY wath ISO ?f6lgll
7.1 General
Within the probability constraints inherent in attribute sam-
pling. the LO indexed plans standardized in table A and
tables B provide a rationalized selection from the existing AOL
indexed plans of ISO 2859/1' Similar rules for acceptance and
non-acceptance and the ISO 2859/1 lot size categories have
also been retained for compatibility. Significant deviations are
given in 7.2and7.3.
7.2 Procedure A (see table A)
For unique lots with a relatively high sample size/lot size ratio.
itbecomes necessary to use the hypergeometric distribution'
Consequently, there are an additional 39 (Ac = 0l plans in
table A for which operating characteristic (OC) curve data is
given in table D2. The remaining 80 plans of table A'have been
taken from ISO 2859/1.
7,3 Procedure B (see tables Bl
All the plans in tables B have been selected from ISO 2859/1 by
using a sliding scale for the consumer's risk (usually helow
10 %) at the specified limiting quality (LO). ISO 2859/1 inspec-
tion levels are also included (see 3.5.2) but Ac = 0 plans have
not been included in tables B, as table A can be used, if
Ac = 0 plans are considered essenthl.

Table D2 - Selected hypergeometric data for OC curves for zoro acceptance plans

A sample of sizer is drawn from a lot containing R nonconforming items. The lot is accepted if there are nonconforming items in the
sample (Ac = 0), the probability of acceptance for the lot {P.} is shown below for the minimum and maximum lot sizes in the lot size
range and the various sampling plans ,,n/0', (printed in boldtype).

I) For double and multiple sampling plans, the tabulated entries are the cumulative sample sizes. ln each case the successive stages of sampling take
a fresh sample equal in size to that taken in the first stage. This sample is aggregated with the samples from previous stages and the combined sample
is then tested by the criterion in table D4.

The correspondence between lot size and sample size is determined by the inspection level. The sample size code letter to use is indicated by the
head of the arrow corresponding to the given inspection level, usually up one row for level I and down one row for level ll.

2) When no AOL value appears in the table for a selected code letter and LO value, an arrow will indicate that the sample size has to be increased if it
points downwards and decreased if it points upwards. The sample size and AOL value to be used correspond to the entry at the head of the arrow"
when this sample size is greater than the lot size all items in the lot have to be inspected.

NOTE - The sample size code letter indicates the appropriate row in table D5; it does not always indicate the sampl&'size to be used directly since this
can depend on the limiting quality. Levels S-1 and S-2, for example, give sample sizes independent of lot size but dependent on limiting quality,
ranging from l3 to &)0.
