Quality Supervision and Spot Check Plan for Shenzhen E-cigarette Products in the First Half of 2024
1. Sampling Method
Using a random sampling method, 85 smoking devices and corresponding pods of each specification will be selected, as well as at least 80 grams of atomized substance. According to the requirements, they will be divided into two parts: one labeled as the inspection sample, and the other as the reserve sample. The inspection sample will be sent (shipped) to the inspection and testing institution responsible for the inspection task. The reserve sample will be temporarily stored at the sampling institution and used as needed for spot check work. See Appendix 1 for the sampling form.
