11Sampling and Criterion for Conformity

IS 2681: Sampling and Criterion for Conformity (Annex B, Clause 11.1)

  • Lot Definition:
    All sliding door bolts of the same type, size, and manufacturing batch form one lot.

  • Sampling Plan:
    Samples are drawn from each lot for quality testing. The sample size depends on the lot size (see Table below).

  • Criterion for Conformity:
    The lot is accepted if the number of defective bolts in the sample does not exceed the acceptance number.


Typical Sampling Table (Example)

Lot Size (N)Sample Size (n)Acceptance Number (Ac)
2 - 820
9 - 1530
16 - 2550
26 - 5081
51 - 90131
91 - 150202

Note: Exact values should be confirmed from IS 2681 Annex B.


Key Points:

  • Sampling is random and representative.
  • The acceptance number defines max allowable defects.
  • If defects > acceptance number, the lot is rejected.
  • Packing and labeling per Clause 10.1 ensure traceability.

flowchart TD
    A[Lot of bolts] --> B[Random Sampling]
    B --> C{Defects ≤ Ac?}
    C -- Yes --> D[Lot Accepted]
    C -- No --> E[Lot Rejected]

This ensures quality control by statistically verifying conformity without testing every item.

?What are the sampling and quality conformity criteria for batches of sliding door bolts?

Sampling and Quality Conformity for Sliding Door Bolts (IS 2681)

  • Sampling Method & Conformity Criteria:
    As per Clause 11.1 and Annex B of IS 2681, sampling of sliding door bolts is done by selecting bolts from batches and checking them for:

    • Dimensional requirements (Clause 5)
    • Manufacturing defects (Clause 8)
    • Surface finish (Clause 7)
  • Defective Bolts:
    Any bolt failing any of the above checks is considered defective (Clause B-3.1).

  • Conformity Criterion:
    The batch is accepted or rejected based on the number of defective bolts found in the sample, following the acceptance criteria detailed in Annex B (typically based on a sampling plan like IS 2500).

  • Additional Quality Requirements:

    • Bolts must be well-made, smooth sliding, free from casting defects (Clause 7.1).
    • Screw holes countersunk for IS 6760 screws.
    • Sharp edges and corners must be smooth.
  • Packing & Labeling:
    Each carton must be labeled with manufacturer details (Clause 10.1).
