Use warpage measuring appliance of which precision is not less than 0.1mm. Select a plate with the most serious warpage. Place appliance on diagonal of the plate to measure. Take the maximum distance as measured value of
warpage.
5.3.2 Flatness
Use flatness measuring appliance of which precision is not less than 0.03mm. Select three plates with the most serious unevenness. Measure distance from reference line within a length of 0~150mm on surface. Take the maximum
distance as measured value of flatness.
5.3.3 Adjacent side perpendicularity
Use steel ruler or tape measure of which precision is not less than 1mm. Measure lengths of two diagonals and opposite sides of a rectangular plate or frame. Difference shall be measured value of adjacent side perpendicularity. 5.3.4 Dislocation
Use dislocation measuring appliance of which precision is not less than 0.1mm. Select tested part with maximum distance between adjacent surfaces to
measure. Select any surface from this adjacent surface as measuring reference surface. Place base surface of appliance on measuring reference surface. Measuring surface of appliance measures another adjacent surface (along with adjacent surface, measure one or more parts). When measured values are both positive (or negative) values, take the maximum absolute value as measured value of dislocation. When measured values are positive and negative, take sum of maximum absolute values as measured value of dislocation and
maximum measured value as evaluated value of dislocation.
5.3.5 Splitting
Use feeler gauge to measure. Before measurement, it shall open and close drawer or door three times to make drawer or door in closed position. Then measure splitting value at 5mm inside splitting ends. Take the maximum value as evaluated value of splitting.
5.3.6 Sag, swing degree
Use steel ruler or tape measure of which precision is not less than 1mm to measure. Place steel ruler on horizontal and side surfaces adjacent to
measuring part of test piece. Extend test piece at 2/3 of total length. Measure free sag of horizontal edge of drawer and left-right swinging value of drawer side. Take maximum value as measured value of sag and swing degree.
5.3.7 Foot stability
Place test piece on a flat plate or on a flat ground. Use feeler gauge to measure some foot or distance between bottom and flat plate.

6 Inspection rules
6.1 Inspection classification
Inspection is classified into exit-factory inspection and type inspection. 6.2 Exit-factory inspection

Exit-factory inspection items include 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.9 and 4.10.
6.2.2 Sampling and batching rules
Exit-factory inspection shall be subjected to full inspection. Since batch size is large, if it is difficult to perform full inspection, it shall perform sampling 6.3.2 Type inspection timing
Type inspection shall be performed in one of the following situations:
a) during normal production, type inspection shall be performed regularly; inspection period is usually one year;
b) when great changes happen on raw and auxiliary materials and production process thereof;
c) production is resumed after discontinued production for a long time; d) when trial model identification for new product or old product produced in transferred plant;
e) when user requests type inspection and it is specified in order contract; f) when quality supervision agency requires type inspection.
6.3.3 Sampling rules
Within an inspection period, randomly extract 2 samples from products that are produced recently, one for inspection and the other for storage.
6.3.4 Type inspection procedures
Inspection procedures shall follow a principle of minimizing correctness of remaining inspection items.
6.3.5 Determination of inspection results
6.3.5.1 Determination of single product
When all basic items are accepted, when rejected general items do not exceed 4, this product shall be determined as accepted otherwise it shall be rejected. 6.3.5.2 Determination of set products
Each product of this set of products shall be determined according to 6.3.5.1. When each product is determined as accepted, this set of products shall be accepted otherwise shall be rejected.
6.3.6 Re-inspection rules
If product is determined as rejected by type inspection, when there is objection to test result, it shall re-inspect stored spare sample. Inspect rejected items and un-inspected items due to test piece damage. Assess according to 6.3.5 and indicate “re-inspection” in inspection results.
