The theory governing inspection by variables depends on
the properties of the normal distribution and, therefore,
this method of inspection is only applicable when there is
reason to believe that the frequency distribution is normal.

Acceptance Quality Limits (tightened inspection)

All AQL values are in percent nonconforming. T denotes plan used exclusively on tightened inspection and
provides symbol for identification of appropriate OC curve.

Use first sampling plan below arrow; that is, both sample size as well as k value. When sample size equals or
exceeds lot size, every item in the lot must be inspected.
