(2011)DISCUSSIONIn some situations, specification requirements coincid
41、ewith customer usage requirements. In other situations, they may notcoincide, being either more or less stringent. More stringent sampling(for example, smaller AQL values) is usually used for measurement ofcharacteristics which are considered critical. The selection of samplingplans is independent o
42、f whether the term defect or nonconformity isappropriate. (2011) D3636cross grains or reeves, nin mica, tangled laminationscausing imperfect cleavage.

(2011)defect, na departure of a quality characteristic from itsintended level, or state, that occur
44、s with a severity sufficientto cause an associated product or service not to satisfyintended normal, or reasonably foreseeable, usage require-ments. (2011)DISCUSSIONThe terms “defect” and “nonconformity” and theirderivatives are used somewhat interchangeably in the historical andcurrent literature.
45、Nonconformity objectively describes the comparisonof test results to specification requirements, while the term defect has aconnotation of predicting the failure of a product or service to performits intended function in use. Since this latter connotation is oftenunintended, the term nonconformity i
46、s preferred in full consensusstandards. The selection of any sample plan is independent of whetherthe term defect or nonconformity is appropriate.The term defect may be appropriate for specifications mutuallyagreed upon by a producer and a user where specific use conditions areclearly understood. Ev
47、en in these cases however, use the term defectwith caution and consider substituting the term nonconformity.For additional comments, see ANSI/ASQC A2-1987 that also states:“When a quality characteristic of a product or service is “evaluated” interms of conformance to specification requirements, the
48、use of the termnonconformity is appropriate.” (2011) D3636dielectric, na medium in which it is possible to maintain anelectric field with little supply of energy from outsidesources.
