How exactly is the sample size determined during AQL sampling? Can a brand request an increased sample size?

The AQL sample size is determined according to standardized sampling tables rather than arbitrarily by the factory or brand. SYNBERRY BAG uses General Inspection Level II as the default basis. The total lot size determines the Sample Size Code Letter, which is then matched to the corresponding number of units to be inspected. Brands can request a higher inspection level, such as General Inspection Level III or Tightened Inspection. However, a larger sample size may extend the inspection period and increase labor costs, while the increase in sample size does not proportionally increase the defect detection rate because AQL is based on a probability model.

During AQL sampling, should a brand hire a third-party inspection company or rely on the factory's self-inspection?

Both factory self-inspection and third-party inspection have advantages and disadvantages. Factory self-inspection offers faster response, lower cost, and immediate feedback for rework, but it has less independence. Third-party inspection companies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, or brand-designated inspection agencies provide greater independence and consistency, particularly for brands managing suppliers across multiple regions. However, third-party inspections generally cost more and mainly assess the condition of goods on the inspection date rather than participating deeply in the entire production and quality prevention process.

If a batch of goods is rejected during an AQL inspection, what should be done next?

An AQL rejection does not necessarily mean that the entire batch must be scrapped. Common solutions include 100% sorting to remove defective products, repairing defects and conducting a re-inspection, negotiating concession acceptance or reduced-price acceptance when appropriate, and reproducing the order when serious or unrepairable defects are involved. Under the SYNBERRY BAG Quality Agreement, if a final inspection is rejected for reasons attributable to SYNBERRY BAG, the company commits to bearing the resulting rework costs and liability for delayed delivery.

Does the AQL standard apply to all types of bag products?

AQL is a general statistical sampling method that can be applied across different manufacturing industries. However, its application should be adjusted according to the characteristics and risk level of each product. Structurally complex products with high craftsmanship requirements, such as luxury handbags and premium business backpacks, may require stricter testing and a higher inspection level, such as General Inspection Level III, because AQL sampling alone may not cover every potential risk point.

Why do different brands set different AQL values, such as 1.5/4.0 versus 2.5/4.0?

Different AQL values reflect differences in brand positioning, target customers, and risk tolerance. Mass-market and fast-fashion brands may use AQL 2.5/4.0 to balance quality, cost, and shipment speed, while premium bag brands may choose AQL 1.5/4.0 or establish customized inspection standards with their factories to protect brand image and product quality. SYNBERRY BAG uses AQL 1.5/4.0 to help brand customers achieve more consistent quality, reduce after-sales complaints, and support long-term customer lifetime value.
