Purpose:

The purpose of ARP9013/4 is to ensure conformance for each product characteristic being verified under these methods. ARP9013/4 provides the requirements for continuous sampling, skip-lot sampling, and for statistical methods for product acceptance that do not derive from industry standard tables.

Field of Application:

This recommended practice is applicable when accepting product based on continuous sampling, skip-lot sampling, or special statistical methods not documented in other industry standards. Several of these sampling strategies are not currently included in any other released standards, but are provided as valuable alternatives for efficiently meeting technical requirements. The customer may require notification or approval prior to use of these special sampling techniques.
