ANNEXURE 7
What are ASAVs/Sampling (ASVs)
-
Analytical Sampling Variations (ASAVs) are guidelines for helping inspectors make routine decisions on acceptability of products appearing to be marginally acceptable.
-
ASVs values are not intended to allow real deficiencies or excesses of the guaranteed ingredient.
-
ASVs are not intended to cover sloppy work, poor sampling, or any deficiency in analytical or clerical procedures.
-
ASVs are intended to apply to individual determinations made under routine conditions on a single sample. A history of seven or eight samples of a given product, each of which is slightly deficient from the guarantee, but none of which is deficient as much as the AV, is ample justification for the control official to take action.
