This practice covers acceptance criteria for visual inspection of parts made from glass-reinforced plastic laminates. It presents word descriptions of possible defects to serve as a guide for contracts, drawings, product specifications, and final inspection. This practice also categorizes different inspection requirements for levels of product quality. The acceptance criteria shall be applied to the following: dimensions and tolerances, inserts, molded-in threads or cored holes, workmanship, critical area, allowable visual defects, repairable defects, surface finish, and surface appearance. Four acceptance levels for visual inspection are described: Acceptance Level I, Acceptance Level II, Acceptance Level III, and Acceptance Level IV.
