The British Standards Institution (BSI) has released the latest edition of BS EN ISO 9000.
Machinery Accidents Clock Up 7 Million Lost Days
Within UK workplaces during 2004 - 2005, seven million working days were lost due to injury, many of which were machine related.
A real effort should be made to ensure that a system is devised so that the producer is responsible for quality of the product.
Sampling inspection can and should lead to less inspection work, lower cost and good quality for the customer, said BSI.
The BS 6000:2005 Guide to the selection and usage of acceptance sampling systems for inspection of discrete items in lots has been updated and revised and now comes in three parts.
Part 1 is general guide to acceptance sampling.
Part 2 is a guide to sampling by attributes and Part 3 is a guide to sampling by variables.
The newly-revised standard gives guidance in the selection of an acceptance sampling system, scheme or plan relating to products that are supplied in lots and that can be classified as consisting of discrete items.
It replaces BS 6000:1996, which is now withdrawn.
The BS 6002-3:2005 Sampling procedures for inspection by variables.
Guide to double sampling schemes indexed by acceptance quality limit (AQL) for lot-by-lot inspection is a standard intended for those designing sampling procedures for product inspection (in production or at customer acceptance) where there is a variable to be measured rather than a simple pass or fail and that variable is bounded by an upper and lower acceptable quality limits.
The standard provides methods that ensure that lots (batches) of acceptable quality have a high probability of acceptance and inferior lots have a high probability of being rejected.
