“The AQL value (Acceptance Quality Level) is a quality standard. The sample size – the number of items to be tested in relation to the batch – is determined on the basis of the batch size (total print run) and the test level. The random sample is taken from the lot according to a defined procedure and tested according to a defined standard.

For gloves, the AQL value (quality level) indicates the proportion of defective gloves within a defined batch. According to the standard, disposable medical gloves must have an AQL of at least 1.5. As standard, gloves have an AQL of 0.65 or 1.5. The AQL value is specified in the data sheet and on the packaging.”
