Inspection

A formal review of a deliverable or other work product to verify it complies with the documented standards and criteria.

Key Points

  • Used to confirm that outputs meet written standards, specifications, or requirements.
  • Can occur at receipt, during execution, or before final acceptance.
  • Often uses checklists, measurements, and sampling to detect defects.
  • Results may trigger acceptance, rejection, rework, or updates to the defect log.

Example

The quality engineer examines completed wiring panels against the project specifications and safety codes, using a checklist to confirm labeling, torque settings, and component ratings before authorizing installation sign-off.
