Quality is becoming a critical factor for business success. To ensure quality, companies introduced the so-called factory production control, which allows for deciding whether products meet the required quality parameters. In the manufacturing of large-scale wood-based materials quality control is regulated by the European standard EN 326-2: 2010, wood-based panels, sampling, cutting and inspection. The objective of the paper is to present recommended procedures for identifying the characteristics of the sample, the determination of confidence limits and defining the way of deciding whether the products conform with the requirements and how to proceed if the products do not meet the requirements. Factory production control allows for continuous analysis of the production process and evaluation of the effectiveness of changes introduced to the manufacturing thereof.
