Quick answer: A Submachine Gun Storage Box is accepted on four groups: appearance and dimensions, function (seal, drop, stack), durability (latch and hinge life) and documentation. Function carries zero acceptance number, cosmetic defects are graded critical, major or minor, and sampling follows GB/T 2828.1 level II.

1. Where Submachine Gun Storage Box inspection starts
The first job is sorting items, not writing limits, or the floor judges function with a cosmetic eye. A Submachine Gun Storage Box is checked in four groups: appearance and cavity dimensions per lot, seal, drop and stack per lot build, latch and hinge life per quarter, and labels and documents per shipment.
Verdict logic differs by group. Routine items are accepted by AQL. Function items carry no acceptance number, because one leaking unit means the process drifted. Durability is read as a curve, recording the cycle where failure begins. Documentation is binary: one missing sheet or an unsigned report returns the whole lot.
| Group | Items | Frequency | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Routine | Appearance, cavity, wall | Per lot | AQL |
| Function | Seal, drop, stack | Per lot build | Zero defects |
| Durability | Latch, hinge cycles | Quarterly | Failure cycle |
2. Limits for dimensions and appearance
Cavity length and width are functional sizes, held to plus or minus 1.5 mm, because foam allowance is only 8 to 12 mm and another 2 mm of shrink blocks loading. Net height gets plus or minus 2.0 mm. Outer sizes are reference only, at plus or minus 3 mm.
Take five ultrasonic wall readings per unit, one at each face centre and corner, and reject below 2.6 mm as a major defect. Avoid rib roots and bosses, where the gauge reads high and tells you nothing.
Cosmetic limits must be measurable: flash 0.3 mm, sink 0.2 mm, batch colour shift within ΔE 1.5, scuffing 5 mm with at most two marks per face.
| Item | Limit | Gauge | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cavity length, width | Plus or minus 1.5 mm | Calliper or CMM | Major |
| Net height | Plus or minus 2.0 mm | Depth gauge | Major |
| Minimum wall | 2.6 mm | Ultrasonic, five points | Major |
3. Sealing, drop and stack verification
Sealing a Submachine Gun Storage Box comes first, by pressure. Latch the unit, charge through the vent port to 20 kPa, hold 60 seconds and pass if decay stays within 1.0 kPa. Units without a port go to immersion: 100 mm of water over the body for 30 minutes, no water inside. Choose one method and never mix them within a lot.
Drop at the worst attitude. Ten drops from 1.2 m cover six faces, three edges and one corner, after four hours at minus 10 °C, the first within 30 seconds of removal. Pass means no crack, latches shut and no cavity collapse; scuffs are acceptable.
Stack with a clock. Load to gross weight, stack five high for 24 hours, then measure deflection between lid and base: 2.0 mm maximum, no permanent set. Run stack before drop, since creep changes the load path of later impacts.
4. Sampling plans and lot judgement
Sampling for a Submachine Gun Storage Box follows GB/T 2828.1 level II, normal single sampling. A lot of 501 to 1200 units maps to code letter J and a sample of 80: major defects at AQL 1.0 accept 2 and reject 3, minor defects at AQL 2.5 accept 5 and reject 6. Critical defects bypass AQL, so one unit rejects the lot.
Judgement follows the strictest item. Any function failure rejects the lot whatever the cosmetic result; a cosmetic overrun with clean function may be reworked. Put that sentence in the purchase contract.
5. Handling rejected lots
Isolate before diagnosing. Quarantine within four hours, tagging lot number, quantity, failing item and station. Process faults can be reworked, material faults are scrapped, design faults stop the line for tooling changes. Misclassify and rework pushes the fault into the next batch.
Re-inspection is tightened: one step up in sample size, and every function item repeated rather than only the one that failed. Three consecutive conforming lots return the supplier to normal inspection; one more failure resets the sequence.
Records carry lot number, sample size, failing items, clause reference, disposition and release signature; unsigned means no inspection.
Conclusion
An acceptance standard earns its keep by settling arguments early: what is sampled by AQL, what tolerates nothing, and what is rejected for a missing sheet. Put groups, limits, sampling and disposition on one page before the first shipment, and the Submachine Gun Storage Box standard becomes something a line can run.
