APPENDIX H
SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS FOR TESTS AND INSPECTIONS
H.1

Scope
This appendix defines the supplementary requirements for tests and inspections
specified in paragraph 4.3 of this specification.

H.2

General Requirments
JAXA qualified parts to be qualified and supplied in compliance with the applicablespecifications shall meet the supplementary requirements for the test and inspection
specified in the following paragraphs:

H.3

Requiremnts

H.3.1

Failure Counts, Failure Rate and Pass/Fail Criteria
When a sample is rejected in one or more tests or inspections, it shall be considered
as a single failure.
For failure rate tests, the failure period begins at the last time when the sample wasverified as normal.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable specifications, if number of test andjudgement items for one sample is equal to or more than one and if the sample does
not pass all tests, the sample shall fail.

H.3.2

Sampling Plan
The sampling plan for in-process inspection, qualification test and quality conformance
inspection shall be in accordance with the method specified in the applicablespecifications.

H.3.2.1

Lot Tolerance Percent Defective
The lot tolerance percent defective (LTPD) method is a sampling plan to reject 90%
of defective lots. This plan is characterized with sample quantity n, acceptancequantity c and rejection quantity r = c+1.
Table H-1 is applicable for the lot size of 100 or more. If the required sample size
exceeds the lot size, 100% inspection shall be conducted.
Table H-2 is applicable when the lot size is smaller than 10 times the sample size
and no greater than 100. Table H-2 is applicable for sample sizes smaller than
Table H-1. The sampling plan in Table H-2 is to judge with the acceptance quantityc = 0 using the minimum sample size.
