AQL Inspections 101: How They are Conducted

Many consumer product brands conduct AQL Inspections to ensure that products from their suppliers meet quality requirements.

How do these inspections work, and how do you conduct them?

It's not practical to inspect 100% of a typical consumer goods order, so the AQL (Acceptance Quality Limit) sampling method helps you determine how many units to inspect and how many defects are acceptable in a given shipment.

In this guide, you'll learn about the AQL tables, how to choose an inspection level, how to choose a sample size, and the steps in the inspection process.
