Page 4 of 46
 JdVVNL_SPECS_TN__1946_STAY SETS 5
If one or more sample(s) fail, twice the number of samples originally
tested shall be selected and shall be subjected to the test. If there is no failure
among these samples, the lot or the sub lot shall be considered to have satisfied
the requirement of this test. If one more sample(s) of the second sample fails, the lot
or sub lot represented by the corresponding samples shall be considered not to
have passed the test.

The lot offered for inspection, be divided in sub lot not exceeding 5000
Nos. sets for each sub lot. Acceptance or otherwise of sub lot shall be determined
on the basis of performance of the samples selected from it as per details
mentioned as under :

Size of sub-lot Sampl Sample size Permissible Failure

e size for re- From Ist From total
inspection sample size samples including

No.2 of above table, are upto the No. mentioned in Col.4 If the No of failure is
more than or equal to the sample mentioned in Col.5 lot shall be considered as
not conforming to the requirement of acceptance and shall be rejected. If the No.
of failure is between c1 and c2, a second sample of n2 stay sets shall be selected
