Inspection Sampling Planner

How many specimens does the standard actually require you to test for this lot — and how many measurements on each? Enter the standard, the lot size and the product, and get the sampling plan with a PDF for the inspection file.

Awaiting the sampling tables

This tool is built but deliberately cannot compute yet. The build brief is explicit: "All sampling tables supplied by Aladdin from purchased copies into a new data/sampling-plans.json — do not build the logic from memory." A wrong sampling plan fails a real inspection, so this tool outputs nothing rather than a guess.

To switch it on:

  1. Open site/data/sampling-plans.json — the schema and instructions are inside.
  2. Transcribe the lot-size bands from ASTM A123/A123M-24 clause 7 + ASTM B602, and ISO 1461:2022 clause 5.2 / 6.2.
  3. Set the edition and cite for each, then "status": "ready".
  4. Run node scripts/test-phase4.mjs, then reload this page.

If the real tables don't fit the schema shape, change the schema — don't bend the standard's values to fit it. Sending the table images works too, same as ISO 14713-2 Table 1.
