AQL Inspection Standards

We follow internationally recognized Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL) standards for all our inspections, ensuring a statistical approach to quality control that balances thoroughness with efficiency.

AQL Level Description Recommended For
AQL 1.0 Stringent quality standard with low tolerance for defects High-value products, safety-critical items, luxury goods
AQL 2.5 Standard quality level suitable for most consumer products General consumer goods, electronics, household items
AQL 4.0 More lenient standard with higher defect tolerance Low-cost items, promotional products, non-critical components

Our inspection team is trained to classify defects according to severity:

  • Critical Defects: Defects that could harm users or violate regulations
  • Major Defects: Issues that would likely lead to product returns or customer dissatisfaction
  • Minor Defects: Small imperfections that don't affect function but may reduce perceived quality
