c) During regular production, at least once a year;
d) When production resumes after a shutdown of six months or more;
e) When routine inspection results differ significantly from the previous type inspection.

7.2 Batch Formation and Sampling

7.2.1 Batch Formation

A batch consists of products of the same variety produced continuously using the same raw materials, formulation, and stable production process. The production period for a single batch should not exceed one week.

7.2.2 Sampling

7.2.2.1 Sample Selection

Samples should be randomly selected from qualified products. For appearance quality and dimensional tolerance inspections, sample sizes are determined as specified in Table 3. In Table 3, batch size and sample size refer to the number of boards or blocks or the number of complete pipe sections. For physical performance tests, specimens are randomly selected from samples that have passed appearance quality inspection, according to the quantity specified in the respective test method standards.

7.2.2.2 Sampling Plan
The double sampling plan is shown in Table 3.

Table 3 Sampling Plan and Decision Rules for Attribute Inspection

Table 3 Sampling Plan and Decision Rules for Attribute Inspection

7.3 Decision Rules

7.3.1 Appearance quality and dimensional tolerances are evaluated according to Table 3.

7.3.2 A batch is deemed conforming if all inspection items meet the requirements specified in Chapter 5; otherwise, it is deemed non-conforming.

8 Marking, Packaging, Transportation, and Storage

8.1 Marking

Products leaving the factory should be accompanied by a quality certificate clearly indicating nominal values. Each package should be labeled with the product designation, quantity, manufacturer’s name and address, and production date.

8.2 Packaging

Products should be packed in cartons with moisture-proofing and anti-loosening measures. Packaging should be marked with “Handle with Care” and “Keep Dry” symbols in accordance with GB/T 191.

8.3 Transportation

During transportation, products should be protected from moisture. Loading and unloading should be handled with care.
