NOTE The data given in this table are based on single sampling plans for a normal inspection, as specified in ISO 2859-1
(tables II-A and VI-A).
Other sampling plans specified in ISO 2859-1 may be used (double or multiple sampling), but these shall be chosen in such a way as
to ensure an equivalent quality level.
As regards those manufacturers who carry out an inspection during the manufacturing process (inspection on a machine and/or
inspection between operations), the sampling plan for the final inspection shall be compiled in such a way that the overall inspection
plan shall guarantee an equivalent quality level.

Evaluate each sample by tensile strength tests as follows:

Take a second sample if batch is doubtful; evaluate as follows:
Second sample: accept if X t – K t S t $ M Reject if X t – K t S t < M
Definition of symbols:
X 1 is the average of X1 individual values in the first sample;
Ka, Kr and Kt are coefficients of S which is the best estimate of standard deviation and which are used
to determine acceptance or rejection of the batch represented by the sample;
M is the minimum tensile strength value according to Table 7;
X t is the average of Xt individual values in the combined samples;
where:
N1 is the sample size of the first sample;
CX12 is the sum of squares of X1 values;
(CX1)2 is the square of the sum of X1 values;
where:
Nt is the sample size of the combined sample,
CXt2 is the sum of squares of Xt values,
(CXt)2 is the square of the sum of Xt values.
