This document uses statistical sampling plans found in ISO 2859-1. DD CEN/TS 12169:2008CEN/TS 12169:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This do
19、cument defines the sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes (measurable properties) of sawn timber lots exhibiting a homogenous distribution of characteristics. It also gives control regulations and conditions for conformity or non conformity of a lot in view of the agreed specific
20、ation. This document applies to any sawn timber products claimed to comply with specifications defined in the sales contract. It does not cover the spread of different qualities within a grade or between the contracted grades. In case of a dispute, a sampling carried out only by customer or supplier
21、 is not valid as it cannot be guaranteed to be free from manipulation. Furthermore parties are free to enlarge the sampling or make use of another method provided an agreement is made between the interested parties. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the
22、application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 2859-1, Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes Part 1: Sampling plans indexed by acceptable qual
23、ity level (AQL) for lot-by-lot inspection. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 lot of sawn timber a number of sawn timber pieces of the same thickness and width and the same quality grade NOTE A lot of sawn timber can be, for exam
24、ple: package of sawn timber, truckload, a wagon load or shipload of sawn timber, pile of sawn timber, kiln load. 3.2 acceptable Quality Level (AQL) the maximum percentage of non-conforming pieces of sawn timber that can be considered satisfactory as a process average 3.3 non-conforming piece a piece
25、 which fails to meet the quality requirements 3.4 package a part of a homogeneous lot DD CEN/TS 12169:2008CEN/TS 12169:2008 (E) 6 4 Conformity control 4.1 Objective The objective of the inspection is to determine with a high probability whether the lot does not conform to the specifications fixed in
26、 the contract and a complaint seems to be justified. Hence the decision is between “conformity“ and “nonconformity“. 4.2 Principle The control of the lot is carried out on the basis of attributes. The pieces making up the sample are defined as “conforming“ or “nonconforming“. The decision regarding
27、conformity or nonconformity of the lot is made on the basis of the number of nonconforming pieces in comparison to the total number of the pieces in the sample. In the case of simultaneous assessments according to different specifications (e.g. appearance, moisture content, dimensions), the number o
28、f nonconforming pieces is evaluated independently. 4.3 Applicable AQL If no AQL value is defined in the accepted grading rules or in the contract, AQL 10 shall be used. (see Tables 2 and 3) NOTE If in random sampling the maximum number of nonconforming pieces “A“, as defined in the AQL tables is exc
29、eeded, the whole lot will contain, with a probability of more than 90 %, a percentage of nonconforming pieces in excess of the AQL value. 4.4 Type of inspection The inspection, described in this document, is carried out according to ISO 2859-1 (General inspection, normal inspection, reference to Tab
30、le I, II or even III A). Other sampling plans, e.g. reduced or increased inspection, may be used if stipulated by the interested party in the contract or a separate agreement. 5 Sampling 5.1 Sampling rules Sampling is based on the concept of AQL. AQL is generally suitable for trade agreements regard
31、ing conformity. Sampling shall be so that random, for none of the parties to the contract will be able to decide which pieces to be inspected. The minimum number of packages to be opened is shown in Table 1. If for any reason the number of packages given in the table is deemed insufficient (for exam
32、ple a large number of packages which are seen to be defective before they are opened), a larger number of packages may be opened. DD CEN/TS 12169:2008CEN/TS 12169:2008 (E) 7 Table 1 Number of packages to be opened Number of packages in the lot Number of packages to be opened 1 2 to 5 6 to 11 12 or m
33、ore 1 2 3 4a aIf these packages do not contain the number of pieces required in Table 2, the necessary additional packages shall be opened. Sampling can be carried out either as single sampling (according to 5.2.1) or as double sampling (according to 5.2.2). Double sampling means that a smaller numb
34、er of pieces than in simple sampling are inspected as a first sampling. This leads to “conformity“, “nonconformity“ or “uncertain“. If result is “uncertain“, a second sampling is carried out and the results added to those of the first sampling. The conformity or nonconformity can be determined. The
35、ways of wrapping and protection timber package during transport varies widely. Sometimes the top layer or pieces in the top layer are used to help protect the other pieces in the package. In such a case, the top layer may, by agreement, be excluded from the sampling. 5.2 Single procedure 5.2.1 Singl
36、e sampling The number of packages to be opened is given in Table 1. Based on the number of pieces in the lot, the total number of pieces to be inspected (sample size) is given in Table 2. By dividing the sample size by the number of packages to be opened, determine the number of test pieces per pack
37、age, rounding the result down to the nearest whole number. If the total number of pieces, as calculated, does not agree exactly with the number given in Table 2, the extra piece(s) has (have) to be selected at random in opened packages (only one per package). The first piece to be assessed in each p
38、ackage is selected at random in the top layer. Then, each layer is scanned from left to right according to a frequency of inspection obtained by dividing the total number of pieces in the package by the number of pieces to be inspected ; the result is round down to the nearest whole number. The numb
39、er of nonconforming pieces in different packages is cumulated. The Column A of Table 2 allows to determine the conformity of the lot. EXAMPLE An example is given in Figure 1, where a lot consisting of 3 600 pieces in 15 packages is inspected. Therefore, in accordance with Table 1, four packages are
40、opened. In accordance with Table 2, AQL 10, 125 pieces are inspected or 31 pieces per package (which makes 124 pieces, so take an extra piece at random from one of the packages). As there are 240 pieces in each package, every eighth piece is inspected (240/31, rounded). In Figure 1, every eighth pie
41、ce gave 30 pieces, so one extra piece is selected at random. If out of the 125 sample pieces more than 21 are nonconforming (see Table 2) the lot is nonconforming. Otherwise the lot is conforming.

Based
44、on the number of pieces in the lot, determine the total number of pieces to be inspected in the first and second inspections (sample size) by using Table 3, the lines marked “Total“. Carry out the second inspection on a sample taken by the same method as the first. By dividing the sample size by the
45、 number of packages to be opened, determine the number of test pieces per package, the result being down to the nearest whole number. If the total number of pieces, as calculated, does not agree exactly with the number given in Table 3, the extra piece(s) has (have) to be selected at random in opene
46、d packages (only one per package). The first piece to be assessed in each package is selected at random in the top layer. Then, each layer is scanned from left to right according to a frequency of inspection obtained by dividing the total number of pieces in the package by the number of pieces to be
47、 inspected; the result is round down to the nearest whole number. The number of nonconforming pieces in different packages is cumulated. The Column A of Table 3 allows to determine the conformity of the lot. Add the results of the second inspection to the results of the first, and compare the result
48、s with the relevant “Total“ line in Table 3. This determines the status of the whole lot (“conformity“ or “nonconformity“). EXAMPLE A lot consisting of 3 600 pieces is to be inspected. The AQL is 10. According to Table 1, open four packages. Therefore, in accordance with Table 3, select 160 samples.
49、 The first inspection, consisting of 80 samples, shows that 12 pieces are nonconforming. This is between the limits of 11 and 16 pieces, and the result is therefore “uncertain“. A second inspection is therefore necessary. If 11 pieces or less had been nonconforming, the lot would have been conforming at once, and no second inspection would have been necessary. Similarly, if 16 or more pieces had been nonconforming the whole lot would have been nonconforming. Since in the present case a second inspection is necessary, inspect the second 80 samples.
