Maximum number of defectives that the consumers will accept

Detailed explanation-1: -AQL represents the maximum proportion of defectives that the consumer finds definitely acceptable. Ideally, at AQL the probability of acceptance should be one i.e.100%. The probability of rejecting the lot at AQL represents the producer’s risk.
Detailed explanation-2: -Under normal inspection, AQL levels range from 0.065 to 6.5. The larger the AQL level, the more lenient the inspection. For general consumer products inspection, AQL level is usually set at 2.5, which implies a zero tolerance for critical defect, 2.5 for major defects, and 4 for minor defects.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) is the maximum percent defective (or maximum number of defects per 100 units) that can be considered acceptable. AQL is measured in defects per 100 units.
Detailed explanation-4: -Acceptable Quality Level or AQL is a statistical tool that is used to inspect a sample size for a give product in a lot and set the maximum number of acceptable defects. Alternatively, it is described as the worst tolerable process average when a series of lots samples are submitted for quality acceptance checks.
Detailed explanation-5: -AQL ranges from 0.01 to 1000 according to the criticality of the product defect. For critical it remains 100% accurate means no range, for major defects 2.5% and for minor remains generally 4%. Using Acceptable Quality Level in pharmaceuticals can help to meet the international standards for pharmaceutical inspection.
