Quality Inspection(Test reference)

1 Inspection Reference

IEC61643.11 Surge Protective Devices (SPD) for Low-Voltage Distribution Systems

Part 1: Performance Requirements and Test Methods

GB/T 2828.1-2012 Sampling Inspection Procedures

Part 1: Sampling Plans for Inspection by Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL)

2 Incoming Inspection

Incoming material inspection is conducted based on the "Metal Parts Inspection Standard," "Plastic Parts Inspection Standard," "Electronic Parts Inspection Standard," "Auxiliary Materials Inspection Standard," and the GB/T 2828.1-2012 Sampling Inspection Procedure.

3 Finished Products Inspection

1) Routine test

Routine inspection is a 100% inspection conducted at the final stage of production on products from the production line. After inspection, no further processing is done, except for packaging and labeling.

2) Sampling test

Sampling inspection is performed according to the GB/T 2828.1 sampling standard.

3) Acceptance test

Verification inspection is a sampling inspection conducted to ensure that the product continues to meet the standard requirements. Verification inspection should be carried out according to the procedures and frequency specified by the standard.
