ISO 28594:2017 provides a set of accept-zero sampling systems and procedures for planning and conducting inspections to assess quality and conformance to specified requirements.
In addition, this International Standard provides requirements for alternative acceptance methods proposed by the supplier. Such alternative methods would be based upon establishing and implementing an internal prevention-based quality management system as a means of ensuring that all products conform to requirements specified by the contract and associated specifications and standards.
ISO 28594:2017, when cited in contract, is applicable to the supplier and extends to subcontractors or vendors. The quality plans are to be applied as specified in the contract documents, and deliverables may be submitted for acceptance if the requirements of this International Standard have been met.
Sampling systems and procedures in this International Standard are applicable, when appropriate, to assess conformance to requirements of the following:
a) end items;
b) components or basic materials;
c) operations or services;
d) materials in process;
e) supplies in storage;
f) maintenance operations;
g) data or records;
h) administrative procedures.
NOTE Use of the word "product" throughout this International Standard also refers to services and other deliverables.
The sampling systems and procedures of this International Standard are not intended for use with destructive tests or where product screening is not feasible or desirable. In such cases, the sampling systems to be used will be specified in the contract or product specifications.
