B2 ST STA ATISTIC TISTICAL AL SAMPL SAMPLING ING Statis Statistic tical al sampli sampling ng is a proced procedure ure which which enabl enables es decision decisionss to be made about the quality quality of batches batches of items after inspecti inspecting ng or testing only a portion portion of those those items. This This procedur proceduree will only be valid if the sampling sampling plan has been determin determined ed on a statisti statistical cal basis basis and the follow following ing requireme requirements nts are met: (a)
The sam sample ple shal shalll be drawn rawn rand randomly mly from from a populati latio on of prod product uct of known own history. The history shall enable verification that the product was made from known materials materials at essentia essentially lly the same time, by essentially essentially the the same processes processes and under under essentially the same system of control.
(b)
For each each diffe differen rentt sit situatio ation n, a sui suitab table sam samplin pling g plan lan nee needs to be defin efineed. A sampling sampling plan for one manufactu manufacturer rer of given given capabili capability ty and product product throug throughp hput ut may not be relevant to another manufacturer producing the same items.
In order order for statis statistic tical al sampl samplin ing g to be meanin meaningf gful ul to the the cust custome omer, r, the the manufact manufacture urerr or suppl supplier ier needs needs to demonstrate demonstrate how the above above condit condition ionss have have been satisfied. satisfied. Sampling Sampling and the the establis establishmen hmentt of a sampling sampling plan plan should should be carried out in accordance accordance with AS 1199, 1199, guidan guidance ce to which is given given in AS 1399. 1399. B3 PRODUCT PRODUCT CERTIFI CERTIFICATIO CATION N The purpose purpose of product product certificat certification ion is to provide provide inde indepen pende dent nt assuran assurance ce of the the claim claim by the manuf manufact acture urerr that that produ products cts compl comply y with with the stated Standard.
