Grade vs. Quality

Quality is how well characteristics meet requirements; grade is a category for items with the same use but different technical characteristics.

Definition

Low quality is always a problem; low grade may be acceptable. A low-grade product with no defects is high quality.

Example

A basic smartphone with no defects is low grade but high quality.

Exam tip

Low grade is acceptable; low quality is not.
