Accept / Reject Criteria
This refers to the measurement and decision of whether or not the quality and performance of a product or service is acceptable. These criteria can be technical specifications (such as level of size tolerances allowed in parts), contract terms and conditions, or performance of a process or service. Implied in the term is the idea that all processes, products, and actions should have an assigned level of acceptable performance that one can measure. Consistent with the understanding that criteria grow out of process capabilities, technicians should periodically measure for acceptability to find out how well a process or item is meeting specification.
