Acceptable quality level definition
Acceptable quality level. (AQL) means the maximum percentage of failing engines that can be considered a satisfactory process average for sampling inspections.
Acceptable quality level is the minimum performance of each requirement before the Government considers performance unsatisfactory. Specification of an acceptable quality level does not allow the Contractor to knowingly provide defective service; instead, it is recognition of the fact that defective performance may sometimes occur unintentionally. As long as performance does not fall below the specified acceptable performance level, the Government will not deduct for poor performance.
Acceptable quality level. (AQL) means the minimum level of performance that is acceptable. Failure to achieve the AQL renders the service being provided by the contractor unacceptable.
