STATISTICAL TEST RESULTS FORM

Use one form for each group of measures, referred to in the directive as a “homogenous lot”, which can be considered as being the same for the purposes of statistical sampling, i.e., manufactured by the same production process, and belong to the same precision class. (NB. maximum lot size is 10,000) Product Batch No. Declaration of Nominal Type (e.g. Material Number Code Conformity Length (m) tape, folding, Submitted Reference single / double number sided)

Total number of measures submitted for approval (Lot size) =

1st sample size 2nd sample size

1st sample number Incorrect 2nd sample number Incorrect
