Body

(ASTM: West Conshohocken, PA) -- ASTM International Committee 11 on Quality and Statistics is continuing the conversion process of popular military acceptance standards based on Military Standard 105E, Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) no longer publishes acceptance sampling standards, although several of these DoD documents have been used as the basis for International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, with some technical content being changed. However, because many users felt that the documents were still useful in their original form, Subcommittee E11.30 on Statistical Quality Control is currently working on preserving them as ASTM standards.

The latest approved standard in the conversion series is ASTM E2696—"Practice for Life and Reliability Testing Based on the Exponential Distribution." ASTM E2696 is an adaptation of the Quality Control and Reliability Handbook H-108—"Sampling Procedures and Tables for Life and Reliability Testing (Based on Exponential Distribution)," which was published by the United States government printing office in 1960.
