Sec.  205.57-6  Acceptance and rejection of batches.



    (a) The batch from which a batch sample is selected will be accepted 

or rejected based upon the number of failing vehicles in the batch 

sample. A sufficient number of test samples will be drawn from the batch 

sample until the cumulative number of failing vehicles is less than or 

equal to the acceptance number or greater than or equal to the rejection 

number appropriate for the cumulative number of vehicles tested. The 

acceptance and rejection numbers listed in Appendix I, Table II at the 

appropriate code letter obtained according to Sec.  205.57-2 will be 

used in determining whether the acceptance or rejection of a batch has 

occurred.

    (b) Acceptance or rejection of a batch takes place when the decision 

that a vehicle is a failing vehicle is made on the last vehicle required 

to make a decision under paragraph (a) of this section.
