How to use the AQL Table?

A: Determine the sample size by using AQL Table

To discover the vital examining size to be reviewed, we take a gander at the main outline and find the scope of things being delivered altogether on the left side.

You select levels I, II, and III, with Level III being the most challenging testing and level I being the least. As we said above, Level II is the norm and is regularly utilized.
