Full title and description

ISO 2859-1:1999/Cor 1:2001 — Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes — Part 1: Sampling schemes indexed by acceptance quality limit (AQL) for lot-by-lot inspection — Technical Corrigendum 1. This corrigendum provides editorial and technical corrections to the text and tables of ISO 2859-1:1999.

Abstract

This document is a Technical Corrigendum (Cor 1) issued in 2001 to amend and correct specified errors in ISO 2859‑1:1999 (the AQL‑indexed sampling schemes for lot‑by‑lot inspection). The corrigendum is one page in length and was published to clarify application of the sampling tables and related text; it has since been withdrawn as the ISO 2859‑1 series has been revised and republished.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / Corrigendum (withdrawn; replaced in later revision of ISO 2859‑1).
• Publication date: March 2001 (publication implemented mid‑March 2001 — publication date commonly listed as 14–15 March 2001).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 03.120.30 — Application of statistical methods / Acceptance sampling.
• Edition / version: Edition 2 (Corrigendum 1 to ISO 2859‑1:1999).
• Number of pages: 1 (single‑page technical corrigendum).

Scope

This corrigendum corrects and clarifies portions of ISO 2859‑1:1999 — the AQL‑indexed sampling schemes for lot‑by‑lot inspection. It does not introduce new sampling methodology; rather, it adjusts wording, tables, or normative references where errors or ambiguities were identified in the 1999 edition. The corrigendum applied only to the 1999 edition and was later rendered obsolete when the ISO 2859‑1 series was revised and republished (notably the consolidated new edition published in 2026).

Key topics and requirements

• Corrections to AQL‑indexed sampling tables and related explanatory text from ISO 2859‑1:1999.
• Clarification of acceptance and rejection numbers for specified lot sizes and AQL levels.
• Editorial fixes to normative references and application notes within Part 1.
• Maintains the original Part‑1 focus: lot‑by‑lot single, double or multiple sampling schemes indexed by AQL and switching rules (as defined in the main Part 1 text).

Typical use and users

Used historically by quality engineers, inspection managers, procurement and supplier quality personnel, regulatory compliance teams and third‑party auditors who apply AQL‑based acceptance sampling for lot release decisions. The corrigendum itself was primarily of interest to users already implementing ISO 2859‑1:1999 who needed the corrected text or table values. For current application, users should consult the latest consolidated edition of ISO 2859‑1.

Related standards

ISO 2859‑1:1999/Cor 1:2001 is part of the ISO 2859 family (sampling procedures for inspection by attributes). Related documents include the main Part 1 (ISO 2859‑1), the introductory/overview part (ISO 28590), and other parts addressing isolated‑lot plans, skip‑lot procedures and assessment of declared quality levels (Parts 2, 3, 4, etc.). The series has been revised over time and later consolidated in newer editions of the parts (see the newer ISO 2859‑1 edition).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Technical Corrigendum 1 to ISO 2859‑1:1999 (ISO 2859‑1:1999/Cor 1:2001), a one‑page correction issued in March 2001 that amended specific items in the 1999 Part 1 text and tables.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The corrigendum covers editorial and technical corrections to the AQL‑indexed sampling schemes and related explanatory material in ISO 2859‑1:1999; it does not create new sampling methods. For full methodology and table sets, consult the main Part 1 text or the later consolidated edition.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Quality and inspection professionals, supplier quality engineers, procurement and compliance teams who apply AQL‑based acceptance sampling and required the corrected wording or table entries from the 1999 edition.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum and the 1999 edition it amends have been withdrawn and superseded by later revisions of the ISO 2859‑1 series (the consolidated new edition of ISO 2859‑1 was published in 2026). For current, normative requirements use the latest published edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO 2859 family (sampling procedures for inspection by attributes). The family includes the introductory part and other parts covering isolated‑lot plans, skip‑lot procedures and assessment of declared quality levels.
