6.3 In type inspection, non-routine inspection items may randomly take 2 ~ 4 units from any batch of products, then, in accordance with the method stipulated in product standards, conduct the inspection.

6.4 When type inspection is conducted, routine inspection items shall be subject to the exit-factory inspection result. If type inspection is conducted on reserved samples, it is unnecessary to repeatedly take samples.

7 Determination and Re-inspection Rules

7.1 In accordance with product standards, determine whether the inspection results of sensory, physical and chemical properties, net weight and hygienic indexes are qualified.

In terms of the re-submission for inspection, conduct sampling inspection in accordance with the double sampling scheme of rigorous inspection. When Class-C disqualified products emerge, the manufacturer is allowed to conduct proper disposal of that batch of products, then, re-submit them for inspection. In terms of the re-submission for inspection, conduct sampling inspection in accordance with the double sampling scheme of rigorous inspection, or, it may be handled by both parties through negotiation.
