(c) Tab of opening band insufficient to provide accessibility to key....... (d) Improper scoring (band would not be removed in one continuous strip). Rust (rust confined to the top or bottom double seam or rust that can be removed with a soft cloth is not scored a defect): Solder missing when required.. Cable cut exposing seam.. Improper side seam. Swell, springer, or flipper (not applicable to gas or pressure packed product nor frozen products).. Leaker or blown container. Frozen products only: (a) Bulging ends 346" to 4" beyond lip. (b) Bulging ends more than 1⁄44′′ beyond lip..

(EXCLUDING GLASS AND METAL) (b) Nails or staples protruding.. 106 Glue or adhesive (when required); not holding properly, not covering area specified, TABLE VII-FLEXIBLE CONTAINERS (PLASTIC, CELLO, PAPER, TEXTILE, ETC.) (a) This section contains the Operating Characteristic (OC) curve for each of the sampling plans given in Tables I, I-A, II, II-A, III and III-A. The OC curve and the corresponding sampling plans are listed by AQL. (b) Different acceptance and rejection criteria are provided for each AQL. The criteria for each AQL must be obtained from the applicable sampling plan tables. (c) The curves show the ability of the various sampling plans to distinguish between good and bad lots. This can be illustrated by examining OC curve 6 for an AQL of 0.25 defects per hundred units in the Reduced and Normal Inspection Plans. If the quality of the lots submitted for inspection is poorer than the AQL of 0.25 defects per hundred units, fewer lots will be accepted. For example, OC curve 6 shows that when the quality of lots submitted for inspection is 1.0 defects per hundred units, only 26 percent of the lots are expected to be accepted. Conversely when the quality of the lots submitted for inspection is better than the AQL of 0.25 defects per hundred units, most lots are expected to be accepted. For example, the same OC curve 6 shows that when the quality of lots submitted for inspection is 0.10 defects per hundred units, about 99 percent of the lots are expected to be accepted. (d) The table of sampling plans that correspond to OC curve 6 can be found over the curves for an AQL of 0.25 defects per hundred units in the Reduced and Normal Inspection Plan. An examination of this table reveals that there is one single and one double sampling plan that have OC curves comparable to OC curve 6. The first plan listed is a single plan requiring the inspection of 500 individual containers. Under this plan the lot is accepted as meeting the requirements for an AQL of 0.25 if there are 3 or less defects in the sample or rejected if there are 4 or more defects in the sample. (e) The next plan that is listed in the column headed 6 for an AQL of 0.25 is a double sampling plan that requires the initial inspection of 228 individual containers. The lot will be accepted as meeting the requirements of an AQL of 0.25 if there are no defects in the sample, and rejected if there are 3 or more defects in the sample. In the event that the number of defects is between the acceptance (0) and rejection (3) numbers, additional containers must be inspected. In this case, the table indicates that a total of 516 containers must be inspected before a decision can be made to either accept or reject the lot. will require the inspection of 288 more containers (516-228-288). This If there are 3 or less defects in the total sample, the lot will be accepted. If there are 4 or more defects in the total sample, the lot will be rejected. The other double sampling plans operate in a similar manner with the only differences being the sample sizes and acceptance and rejection numbers. |
