AQL stands for Acceptance Quality Limit. This glossary entry explains the full form, the ISO 2859-1 and MIL-STD-105 origin, how sampling works, and a Bangladesh garment example with acceptance numbers.
Pre-shipment inspection explained for buyers: the PSI process, PPI, DPI and final inspection, how AQL sampling decides pass or fail, what inspectors check, and a garment QC checklist.
AQL is the figure you will see on inspection bookings and reports. It decides how strict the sampling is, but it does not promise a defect-free shipment.
