Quality Standard

Satisfied Quality Level works according to the international quality standards (AQL), norms and regulations. This allows customers to understand each report quickly and easily. We will check your suppliers according to your requirements and to the AQL-standard.

Following that control, you will get two reports. A Quick Report on the same day and a Detailed Report within 24 hours. With these Reports you will get an insight of the factory and we will make a recommendation to help you choose on your suppliers. The reports are made with many photos and are clear and structured.

AQL - Acceptable Quality Limit

The AQL-Standard provides a basis for the clients to decide on the proceed.

Our inspectors work with the ISO 2859 tables and evaluate the AQL of the inspected product. The ISO 2859 refers to a U.S. standard with equivalents in national and international standard setting body (ANSI /ASQC Z 1.4, ISO 2859, NF06 -022, BS 6001, DIN 40080).

We use the proven method of Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) to conduct product inspection ANSI/ASQ

Z1.4-2008 and MIL STD 105E Standard for sampling.
The acceptance quality level (AQL) is internationally defined as the maximum defective percentage (or the maximum number of defects per hundred units) that, for purpose of sampling inspection, can be considered satisfactorily as a process average.

We will select a sampling size quantity (according to the AQL tables), and give you a recommendation according to the number of defects found (critical, major, minor defects). The result will show, if you should rather accept or reject the shipment.

Example

For a lot of 5000 units, with a General Inspection Level II (This is most commonly used Level) -see Table A – you will find the sample size code letter “L”.

In Table B we find the sample size (“L”) will be 200 units. SQL will now inspect 200 units of this production lot.

When applying an AQL level of 2.5 (Table B) you’ll find that the corresponding acceptance number is 10. If SQL finds 11 defects the shipment should be rejected by the customer.
