The valuation mode defines the rules for accepting or rejecting a characteristic or a sample.
The sampling type and the valuation mode define which parameters will be used to determine the sample.
Sampling type: fixed sample
Valuation mode: attributive inspection according to nonconforming
units
As a result, a sampling instruction with the
parameters sample size 'n' and acceptance number 'c' is stored in the sampling
procedure.
The sampling instruction is independent of the lot size (unless the lot size
is smaller than the fixed sample size).
