Use this form to enter the test result and its associated quantity for a selected test on a quality order. Enter the results for a qualitative test by selecting an outcome, where the variable's outcome has a defined status of pass or fail. Enter the test result for a quantitative test by entering a value that reflects the specified unit of measure and its decimal precision. The test's minimum and maximum values determine whether the test result will have a pass or fail status. The form displays the status for each test result.
Multiple test results can be entered for a given test to reflect different outcomes or values. You enter a result quantity for each test result. The sum of result quantities should equal the test quantity for the quality order. The total result quantity with a pass status determines whether the results meet the acceptable quality level (AQL) of the test. You can selectively exclude a test quantity and result from the AQL calculation of an individual test.
Examples
A quality order has one quantitative test with quality specifications expressed as a minimum and maximum acceptable value, and an AQL of 70 percent. The quality order has a test quantity of ten, and an AQL of 100 percent. When reporting the test results, seven items had the same value (within the acceptable limits), two items had an unacceptably high value, and one item had an unacceptably low value. After entering the three results and the associated quantity for each result, the test results met the test's AQL of 70 percent so that the test has a pass status. The quality order will also have a pass status after it is validated, because 100 percent of the tests were passed.
In this example, the testing of an additional five items identified an acceptable value, which was entered as a test result but excluded from the AQL calculation for the test.

Enter or view the tested quantity for the associated test result. |
|
|
Select or view the result (expressed as an outcome) for a qualitative test. A variable's outcome has a predefined status of pass or fail. |
|
|
Enter or view the result (expressed as a value) for a quantitative test. The value should reflect test's unit of measure and its decimal precision. The test's minimum and maximum values determine whether the test result will have a pass or fail status. |
|
|
Select whether the tested quantity and its associated test result should be included or excluded from the AQL calculation for the test. The sum of included quantities should match the test quantity for the quality order, or you will receive a warning message. |
