AQL is a sampling framework used in many product inspections, but it is not a substitute for clear product requirements. Buyers should define critical, major, and minor defects before inspection begins.
Practical AQL questions
- What product failures are critical for safety, function, or compliance?
- Which defects affect buyer acceptance or marketplace claims?
- When should inspection happen during production or before shipment?
- What evidence should be included in the inspection report?
