This guide provides a standard method for selecting a sampling scheme for electrodeposited metal and inorganic coatings inspection. Designed to determine whether a batch conforms to a coating specification. Sampling plans are based on indicators such as Acceptable Mass Level (AQL), Limited Mass Level (LQL), Average Outgoing Mass (AOQ), and cover standard procedures for selection, sampling, inspection, and batch disposal. The guide is suitable for scenarios where high cost, difficult testing, or Destructiveness testing is required, to help determine whether specification requirements are met.
