General Engineering and Fasteners Standards Sectional Committee, PGD 37

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 17) (Fifth Revision) which is identical with ISO 3269 : 2019 ‘Fasteners — Acceptance
inspection’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards on recommendation of the General Engineering and Fasteners Standards Sectional Committee and approval
of the Production Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1961 and subsequently revised in 1967, 1979, 1996 and 2000. Third revision
of this standard was identical with ISO 3269 : 1988. Fourth revision of this standard was identical with
ISO 3269 : 2000. The fifth revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of
ISO 3269 : 2019.

The major changes in this revision are as follows:


a) Introduction of an additional approach for incoming inspection with smaller sample sizes based on NA = 0;
b) Use of a reference approach in case agreement is not reached;
c) Sample size specified on the basis of lot size insert; and
d) Addition of informative Annexes A and B explaining the basis for sample size selection.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations.
Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn
to the following:
a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian
Standard’.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a
point (.) as the decimal marker.

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards also
exist. The corresponding Indian Standards, which are to be substituted in their respective places, are listed below
along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

Introduction
The manufacturer of fasteners is expected to take due care and apply process control (see ISO 16426)
during production in order to minimize the chances of producing parts that do not satisfy requirements
of the standard or technical specification to which they are specified. Although every fastener should
meet all the specified requirements, this objective is not guaranteed in mass production.
The purchaser of fasteners is expected to decide whether it is reasonable to assume that the delivered
fasteners were made to specification. Considering the limitations of inspection by attributes of a
fastener inspection lot, it is desirable that both the purchaser and the manufacturer (or supplier)
possess a clear understanding of the acceptance inspection procedure to be used by the purchaser. This
document describes an inspection procedure for use by the purchaser where no prior agreement exists.
Such acceptance inspection cannot provide complete confidence that non-conforming fasteners do
not exist within a production lot. Conversely, the acceptance of a lot based on acceptance quality limit
(AQL) values in this document does not imply that the supplier has a right to knowingly supply non-
conforming fasteners.
This fourth edition introduces a layered approach for incoming acceptance inspection that begins with
small sample sizes associated with a sampling plan based on Ac = 0.

ISO 3269 : 2019

5.2 Inspection procedures

5.2.1 General

The purchaser can choose this document to verify that the fasteners comply with the technical
requirements of the product standard or other specified requirements.

5.2.2 Sample size

Sample size shall be based on the size of the inspection lot specified in Table 1. If the sample size is
greater than the lot size, 100 % inspection is required for non-destructive tests.
Sample size, acceptance number, Ac, and rejection number, Re, for each selected characteristic shall be
determined individually.

5.2.3 Inspection modalities

Inspection category for the characteristic being inspected shall be in accordance with Table 2, which
lists the primary characteristics of various fastener types.
The selection of the characteristics for inspection shall be at the discretion of the purchaser. The
purchaser is not required to inspect all characteristics listed in Table 2. The purchaser shall decide which
characteristics to inspect based on their impact on the form, fit and function of the fasteners used.
The purchaser can select any other characteristics specified in the relevant product standard or in
other technical specifications for inspection.
NOTE The frequency and extent of acceptance inspection are at the discretion of the purchaser and are
related to previous experience with the supplier and the purchaser’s opinion of the critical nature of the fastener
and its application.

Mechanical, physical and functional properties shall be inspected as specified in the relevant basic and
reference standards (e.g. ISO 898-1, ISO 3506-2, ISO 16047, ISO 10683, ISO 6157-1).
Dimensional characteristics shall be inspected in accordance with relevant product standards and/or
technical specifications.
The inspection of a listed mechanical, physical or functional characteristic can include several tests
and/or test results (e.g. tensile strength may be tested using full-size, wedge tensile or specimens).
A listed dimensional characteristic can include several features (e.g. inspecting the drive for a hexagon
head includes measuring width across flats, width across corners and minimum wrenching height).

5.3 Acceptance inspection categories


Table 1 specifies sampling plans for acceptance inspection. Categories 1, 2 and 3 are explained in
Annex A. Category 3 sampling plans are selected from ISO 2859-1.

a Category 1 – characteristics for which the acceptance number, Ac, is zero. Category 1 characteristics include all
mechanical and functional properties which are typically inspected by means of destructive tests. If non‑conformity is
found in the sample, the lot or shipment is rejected. Disposition according to 6.2 and/or 6.3 shall apply.
b Category 2 – characteristics for which the acceptance number, Ac, is zero, but in case of a non‑conformity, a second
sample may be taken. Category 2 characteristics are major dimensional properties that can affect the fit or function of the
fastener. If, however, a single non‑conformity is found in the first sample, an additional sample equal to the first sample
size shall additionally be inspected for that characteristic. If zero non‑conformity is found in the additional sample for that
characteristic, the lot is accepted. If the lot or shipment is rejected, disposition in accordance with 6.2 and/or 6.3 shall apply.
c Category 3 – characteristics for which the acceptance number, Ac, is one non‑conformity or more, as specified in
Table 2. Category 3 characteristics are minor dimensional properties and certain functional properties where some degree
of non‑conformity is tolerated. If more than the specified acceptable non-conformities are found in the sample, the lot or
shipment is rejected. Disposition in accordance with 6.2 and/or 6.3 shall apply.

6 Result of inspection and disposition

6.1 General
If no non‑conformity is found with the samples inspected and/or tested, the inspection lot shall be
accepted.
For categories 2 and 3, if non-conformities are found but satisfy the acceptance number (Ac) criteria
specified in Table 1, the inspection lot shall be accepted.
NOTE Lot acceptance in accordance with this document does not presume that the accepted lot is free of
non-conforming parts (see Introduction).

If non‑conformities are found that exceed the acceptance number (Ac) criteria specified in Table 1, the
purchaser shall reach a disposition agreement with the supplier in accordance with 6.2.
If the purchaser and supplier cannot agree on the acceptance or rejection of an inspection lot in
accordance with 6.2, they shall apply disposition in accordance with 6.3.
Non‑conformities shall be declared on the basis of appropriate test, measurement and/or gauging
methods and related appropriate equipment.

ISO 3269 : 2019

6.2 Purchaser's options for lot disposition


In case of non‑conformity found by performing inspection in accordance with 5.2, the purchaser shall
choose from the following options:
If the purchaser assumes that the non‑conformity will have no significant effect on the performance in
the intended service application:
a) the purchaser accepts the inspection lot.
Otherwise, the following options can be chosen:
b) return the lot to the supplier;
c) sort and/or inspect the lot to remove the non-conforming parts;
d) rework or reprocess the parts to correct the non‑conformity;
e) scrap the lot.
The purchaser shall have approval from the supplier before any activity, such as sorting, reworking,
reprocessing, scrapping, or returning the lot, when such action impacts the supplier.
A non-conforming lot of fasteners shall not be presented for re-inspection until one of the options above
has been completed.

6.3 Reference acceptance procedure


If the purchaser and supplier cannot agree on the acceptance or rejection of an inspection lot in
accordance with 6.2, for example if the validity of the testing is questioned, the parties shall select a
mutually agreed upon competent third party laboratory to test the non-conforming characteristic as
specified above. The additional third-party inspection results shall serve as the basis for the purchaser
and supplier to agree upon one of the options in 6.2.

Annex A
(informative)

Sampling plans basics

Acceptance inspection is generally performed by the purchaser to confirm by inspection whether


it is reasonable to assume that the delivered fasteners were made to specification. Table 1 provides
acceptance inspection sampling plans for three categories of characteristics based on different
statistical approaches having different customer and supplier risk consequences. The selection of
a sampling plan and suitable tests are the responsibility of the party conducting the acceptance
inspection.
Category 1 characteristics are for mechanical properties that are critical to the function of the fastener.
It is assumed that a process parameter deviation in mass production will lead to non‑conformity in
a substantial proportion of the lot and is expected to be detected in a small sample. Based on this
assumption, acceptance inspection sampling plans for category 1 properties require acceptance number
Ac = 0 and do not provide statistical information. When non‑conformity is found, in-depth investigation
is required to reach agreement about disposition of the lot (see Clause 6).
Category 2 characteristics are for dimensional properties that can influence the usability of the fastener.
It is assumed there is a statistical distribution of the characteristic resulting from normal variation in
production processes. Category 2 sampling plans are based on acceptance number Ac = 0; however,
a single non‑conformity does not automatically require rejection of the lot. An additional sampling
with the same acceptance number Ac = 0 increases confidence in conformance of the lot while avoiding
rejections based on a single detected non‑conformity.
Sample sizes for category 2 characteristics are selected to provide "consumer risk" similar to a 6,5 AQL
plan and are selected from OC curves for single sampling plans shown by Reference [7]. The term
“consumer risk” is described by values for the quality level expressed in percentage of non-conforming
parts, with a 10 % probability of being accepted. See Table A.1 (LQ10). The term “supplier risk” is
described by values for the quality level expressed in percentage of non-conforming parts, with a 95 %
probability of being accepted. See Table A.1 (AQL95). These values apply only for single inspection.
Taking an additional sample after finding a non-conforming part in first sample is not considered.
Category 3 characteristics are for dimensional properties and certain functional properties where
some degree of non‑conformity is tolerated. It is assumed that there is a statistical distribution of the
characteristic resulting from normal variation in production processes. Category 3 sampling plans
are based on an acceptance number, Ac, greater than zero. Sample sizes for Category 3 characteristics
are chosen from ISO 2859-1:1999, Table 1, level S3. Ac values connected with AQL95 are taken from
ISO 2859-1:1999, Table 2‑A.

Annex B
(informative)

Operating characteristic of sampling plans

The following presents the relationship existing between the sampling plan (sample size, acceptance
number) and the AQL and LQ values.
Each sampling plan is described by its operating characteristic (OC) curve (see examples in Figure B.1).
These curves show the probability of acceptance in a sampling inspection as a function of the actual
percentage of non-conforming fasteners in the inspection lot. The points on the operating characteristic
curves indicating a 95 % and a 10 % probability of acceptance have been selected for the determination
of suitable sampling. The 95 % point on the OC curve is required to be greater than or equal to the AQL
value specified. Selection of the 10 % point on the OC curve (LQ10 value) is at the purchaser's discretion.
The LQ10 value corresponds to the percentage of non-conforming fasteners in inspection lots that are
highly likely (90 % probability) to be rejected.
For each single characteristic, a sampling plan 32/1 means that, out of 32 tested fasteners, 1 can show
non-conformity and the lot is still accepted on the basis of a specified figure of AQL95 = 1.
