Hi...
I received a complaint. The first of this type after many years of work.
Request:
Specification limit: ≤ 0.4 %
Result 0.42%
Is it compliant in your opinion? Or not?

if spec were written 0.40, there's an issue. Your result is in spec (barely), tell the complainer to rewrite the spec w/ justification if they want 0.42 to be OOS.

I agree with DR. Within specifications.
Had it been written as Specification limit: ≤ 0.40 %, then would be OOS.

I also agree with DR. To avoid this type of complaint, fix your report format to round the required number of digits...

for the spec of NMT 0.4%, you can go up to 0.44% technically.
