As it is not economically viable for most of the Clients to Inspect all or every unit in the order, Hence AQL tables determine the number of units to be Inspected - which will yield a statistically reliable Sample size. In other words, If the Inspection on the randomly selected lot goes well, then it is statistically unlikely that defects will be found in the rest of the Order.

For Example

Say there are 1000 master cartons in order and 50 units per master carton for 50000 units' total. Our Inspectors would open a select set of master cartons (the square root of the total number of cartons) randomly and further select at random a set of individual units inside that master carton as per sampling size chosen by the Client. However, if the supplier knew they had a few dozen defects and packaged the defects all together in one section of one master carton, then it would be statistically unlikely that our inspector would find this Pocket of defects. For this reason, RSJ does not provide a warranty on behalf of the supplier. But we emphasise to our clients, that they should have to Inform these on PO’s, Warranty terms, and Payment terms clearly with their Suppliers that protect the interests of the client. Negotiating such terms with the supplier is outside of the scope of our business at RSJ.
