Inspection, tightened - Inspection in accordance with a sampling plan that has stricter acceptance criteria than those used in normal inspection. Tightened inspection is used in some inspection systems as a protective measure when the level of submitted Quality_ is sufficiently poor. The higher rate of rejections is expected to lead suppliers to improve the Quality_ of submitted product. Note: The criteria for determining when Quality_ is "sufficiently poor" must be defined in objective terms for any given inspection system.
