Inadequate prepackage
(also called a non-conforming prepackage)
2.4.2 T2 error
Informative Annexes include an examination procedure outline, procedures for determining average
tare weight, the drained quantity of products in liquid
medium, and the actual quantity of frozen products.
Also included is a mandatory Annex on misleading
prepackages.

4.1.1 Criteria
The tests for acceptance or rejection of inspection lots
shall take three parameters into consideration:
The average error of the quantity of product in a
prepackage in the sample;
The percentage of prepackages in the sample that
contain a quantity of product less than Qn T is less
than 2.5 % (also called a T1 error). This is equal to
the requirement that an inspection lot shall be
rejected if the sample includes more inadequate
prepackages which contain a quantity of product less
than Qn T than permitted in column 4 of Table 1
(called a T1 error); and
That an inspection lot must be rejected if one or
more inadequate prepackages in the sample contains
a quantity of product less than Qn T2 (called a T2
error).
p 0.5 % for = Qn
That is, the probability of rejecting a correctly filled
inspection lot with = Qn shall not exceed 0.5 %.
p 5 % for p = 2.5 %
that is, the probability (p) of rejecting a inspection lot
containing 2.5 % of inadequate prepackages shall not
exceed 5 %.

Compute the value of T by multiplying the nominal quantity by 1 % and rounding the result up to the next
whole number. The value may be larger than 1 % due to the rounding but this is accepted because the
products are whole items and cannot be divided.
