Bedding Inspection, AQL and Measurement Checklist
Wholesale bedding inspection should compare bulk goods against the approved sample, specification sheet, size table, label files, packing method and carton data. Buyers should define the inspection method, AQL level if used, measurement tolerance, defect classification and photo-report expectations before production finishes.

What does AQL mean for bedding inspection?+
AQL is a sampling-based inspection method used by many buyers to define acceptance limits for inspected goods. Bedding buyers should confirm the AQL level, defect categories and acceptance rules with their inspection partner before shipment.
