Standard Practice for
Sampling and Judging Quality of Solid Electrical Insulating
Materials1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3636; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of the last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice covers procedures for obtaining data
pertaining to the quality of a lot of electrically insulating material
and for making a judgement whether the lot meets the
requirements of a material specification.

1.2 This practice is not intended to define a producer’s
internal quality control procedures but are designed to determine
the acceptability of all, or some portion, of a quantity of
electrical insulating material that is available for inspection by
the user of the material.

1.3 This practice is intended to be used in conjunction with
an existing material specification that specifies property characteristic limits, acceptable quality level (AQL), standard test
methods, and specific sampling instructions.

1.4 In the absence of a specification as described in 1.3, this
the practice may be used as a guide, after the establishment of
agreed-upon property characteristics, limits, AQL, standard
test methods, and specific sampling instructions.

1.5 It is intended that this be a practice for inspection by
attributes.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
