Coating Sampling Plans: Define the Lot Before Choosing Samples

A sampling plan needs a clear population. Mixing unrelated production or packaging groups can make the sample difficult to interpret.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Define the lot by the relevant product, batch and process boundaries. Agree sample selection and acceptance with the responsible quality specialist.

A few bottles selected from several different filling runs may not represent any one run adequately.

Decision limits

Do not adopt a universal sample count without considering the decision and applicable requirements. Sampling design should match the actual risk and process.
