AQL 1.5% DEFECT RISK ESTIMATOR

QC PLANNING ENGINE

WHY AQL 1.5% IS THE GOLD STANDARD

In global garment and fabric procurement, AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) 1.5% is the industry benchmark for "Major Defects." It defines the statistical limit of defects allowed in a batch before the entire order is rejected. Our tool uses the ISO 2859-1 "Normal Inspection" table to calculate your sample size and the maximum allowable defect count, ensuring your QC team is focused on high-risk areas.

COMPLIANCE CONSTANTS

• Level II Inspection: Standard for apparel batch sizes.
• AQL 1.5: Balanced risk between factory and brand.
• Lead-Time Buffer: Adds 5 days for QC and documentation.

What happens if the defects exceed the AQL limit?

The entire batch is technically rejected. The factory must then perform a 100% inspection to remove all defective units or re-process the fabric to meet the standards before re-submitting for QC.

Is AQL 1.5% suitable for luxury fabrics?

Luxury brands often move to AQL 1.0% or even AQL 0.65%, which drastically reduces the allowable defect count and increases the sampling size for higher precision.
