SUBJECT: Time Sampling and Segregation Procedures for Canned Green and 

Wax Beans - In Plant 

TO: All Inspectors 

FILE UNDER: United States Standards for Grades of Canned Green and Wax Beans 

PURPOSE AND SCOPE 

To inform all in-plant inspectors about the procedures to follow when using time sampling 

provisions to grade canned green and wax beans under individual attributes. The following 

are in-plant time sampling and segregation procedures for grading canned green and wax 

beans under individual attributes. 

AUTHORIZATION TO USE TIME SAMPLING 

The Officer-in-Charge or area supervisor shall determine whether a plant can qualify to use 

the time sampling procedures outlined below. This determination shall be based on a review 

of the plant's quality control records and the ability of the plant to pack product consistently 

within a desired quality level. The supervisor shall not authorize time sampling for a plant 

which historically produces product which is determined to have erratic quality levels during 

a production period. 

SOURCE OF SAMPLES 

All sample units must be officially drawn from "finished product." Finished product means 

product that has been processed, cooled, and taken from the container(s) to be graded. Line 

checks shall not be used in lieu of finished product. 
TIME SAMPLING RATES PER INSPECTION PERIOD 

Sample units are to be selected on a random time basis averaging within the parameters 

outlined below so that each sample unit has an equal chance of being selected. 

The sampling rate for each product graded is to be predetermined, based on knowledge of 

previous production volume for the product per basic inspection period and the on-line 

sampling plans in the "Regulations." 

Sampling rates and frequencies for canned green and wax beans are based on the following 

table: 

Predetermined 

Production Rate 

Low Volume (3) 

Medium Volume (6 or 13) 

High Volume (21 or more) 

Sampling Frequency 

For can sizes #3 cylinder 

and larger: 400 units per 60 

min. (per 90 min., optional) 

For smaller than #3 

cylinder: 100 units per 60 

min. (per 90 min .. optional) 

For can sizes #3 cylinder 

and larger: 400 units per 45 

mm. 

For smaller than #3 

cylinder: I 00 units per 45 

mm. 

For can sizes #3 cylinder 

and larger: 400 units per 30 

min. (per 15 min .. optional) 

For smaller than #3 

cylinder: I 00 units per 30 

min. (per 15 min., optional) 

Deviants Allowed

MINIMUM SAMPLE SIZE TO CERTIFY A PORTION OF PRODUCTION 

For specified defects, 600 units of product from three (3) sample units is the minimum 

sample size under time sampling. For grading small portions of production or small 

containers, inspectors may need to draw a few extra containers to assure that 600 units are 

available. 
PROCEDURES FOR GRADING MIXED QUALITY WITHIN THE PRODUCTION 

PERIOD 

As provided for lot inspection under individual attributes, there is a similar provision to 

address pockets of low quality within a production period under time sampling. If during the 

production period, a sample unit(s) is encountered for one or more specified defects that falls 

more than one grade below the indicated grade for the production period, certify the 

production period to the lowest grade. For the next period of production, the inspector 

must use the lot inspection rate in the Regulations. After grading one production period at 

the lot inspection rate and finding no pockets of low quality, the inspector may again use time 

sampling procedures and make note of each occurrence in the Daily Inspection Report under 

"Remarks". 

SEGREGATION PROCEDURES 

If at any time during production, a portion of production falls into the next lower grade, the 

entire production fails at that point unless the offending portion can be segregated by codes. 

Plant management has two options--one, to request segregation of the offending portion or 

two, to continue production without segregation anticipating better quality product will offset 

the offending portion. If plant management requests that a portion of failing production be 

segregated, all defects found that are associated with the failing portion shall be excluded 

from the tally of the remaining portion. The failing portion may be re-inspected as a new lot 

only under appeal inspection or after the product has been reworked in an effort to eliminate 

or reduce the defects from the failing portion. 

OTHER REQUIREMENTS 

The following are separate but equally important requirements that must be followed when 

using time sampling for canned green and wax beans: 

Inspectors cannot switch back and forth between on-line single sampling rates and 

time sampling unless it is due to mixed quality sample units within a production 

period . 

The inspector must indicate that "time sampling" is being used on each tally sheet. 

Attached are the acceptance numbers for three (3) to 38 sample units of cut green and 

wax beans using the 400 and 100 Plans.
