V-Trust uses the ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008 (AQL) as its sampling standard and acceptable level of quality.

AQL is widely used to decide whether to accept a production lot by checking random samples. It offers the advantage of clearly defining the number of samples to be inspected from a given lot or consignment.

For AQL Level, unless otherwise specified, we will follow AQL General Level II as the default sampling plan.
