Sequential sampling plans for inspection by variables for percent nonconforming (known standard devi...
ISO 8423:2008 specifies sequential sampling plans and procedures for inspection by variables of discrete items. The plans are indexed in terms of producer's risk point and the consumer's risk point. Therefore, they are suitable not only for the purposes of acceptance sampling, but for the more general purpose of the testing of simple statistical hypotheses for proportions. The purpose…

Alimentary pasta produced from durum wheat semolina — Estimation of cooking quality by sensory analy...
ISO 7304-2:2008 specifies a method for assessing, by sensory analysis, the quality of cooked alimentary pasta in the form of spaghetti or macaroni (i.e. long, solid or short, hollow strands) produced from durum wheat semolina, expressed in terms of the starch release, liveliness and firmness characteristics (i.e. texture) of the pasta. It does not apply to pasta in the form of small strands…
