Inspection Lot
The inspection lot is the material for which the sampling plan must decide whether to accept or reject. An inspection lot should consist of material produced under the similar conditions and using similar materials, personnel and methods.
An inspection lot can be the entire production lot. It can also be only part of the production lot. For example, an accept/reject decision might be made every hour during an eight hour production lot. An inspection lot can also include multiple production lots. For example, several small production lots might be combined into a single heat treatment cycle and then inspected as a group following the cycle.
