Abstract: The effects of false and incomplete identification of nonconforming items on the properties of two-stage acceptance sampling procedures are studied. Numerical tables are presented, and there is some discussion of sensitivity to inspection errors. Methods of taking into account extra costs needed to implement better inspection techniques, when initial grading is inconclusive, are described.
