Inspection criteria

I xtemal inspection criteria are provided by these standards for foundation and supports, anchor bolts, concrete or steel supports, guy wires, nozzles, sprinklers pipe hangers, . rouiuling coiiiiee(ions, protective coatings, insulation, and external metal surfaces. 

Catalysis models have clear semantic relationships to one another. At any level of abstraction, they form an important part of the inspection criteria for those models. Across levels of refinement, these rules, together with the rules for refinement, provide a concrete basis for design reviews. 

Quality assurance functions primarily to monitor the fact that the quality function is being performed. Its role in PV is readily associated with its main functions. For example, it performs the tests that demonstrate the product s content uniformity. It may also perform the statistical evaluation of the test results to show that the process is reproducible. Quality assurance initiates the action to dispose of nonconforming product. It implements the inspection criteria and sets the specifications for product approval or rejection. It analyzes the product complaints to learn how effective its test program has been in preventing reject-able product from reaching the marketplace. 

Product not meeting manufacturing specifications is either being recycled, separated for other uses, or discarded. After receiving the catalyst, the customer may apply his own quality control and may reject drums of catalysts which do not meet his inspection criteria. 

Collection Mechanism The trusty index card will work for performing inspections, but this requires the individual to remember the inspection criteria or refer to an inspection list and make notes about observations. A clipboard with a predefined set of questions (that can be answered yes or no ) for each machine is a definite improvement on the index card method. Be sure to leave a space for comments. Both the index card and the clipboard approach require manual entry of the data once they are collected. A more modern approach is to set up the inspection in an industrial-quality personal digital assistant. For each machine, the inspector can answer yes or no, and as required, write short comments. These comments could be selected from a drop-down menu to minimize inconsistency. The data can then be uploaded to a host computer for storage. This speeds the process, ensures that the data will be captured, and reduces transposition errors. 

Variations in Inspection Criteria. Uniform criteria are required for inspection of facilities and study records. Unfortunately, implementation of the regulations by various laboratories, and interpretation of the regulations by various inspectors can change with time. These practical problems already exist and will increase as testing facilities are subjected to inspection by officers from different government agencies, and possibly from foreign countries with different national inspection laws. 

Poor adhesion and delamination can also result from dispensing insufficient adhesive to cover the entire bond line (Fig. 6.2). Generally, a minimum thickness of 2 mils is required. A visible fillet around two or more sides of an attached die or substrate provides assurance that sufficient adhesive has been used and has spread and covered the bond line. In fact, the appearance and extent of fillet are inspection criteria for the acceptance of high-reliability circuits as defined in MIL-STD-883, Method 2010 for monohthic ICs and Method 2017 for hybrid microcircuits. According to these methods, at least 75% of the fillet should be visible along each side of the device. Applying a uniform thickness is also important. Nonuniform thicknesses result in tilted devices with the potential for cracking and separation. 

Visual-inspection criteria for cured adhesives used for element or substrate attachment are specified in paragraph 3.1.2 of Method 2017, Internal Visual (Hybrid) of M1L-STD-883F. Visual-inspection criteria for adhesives are classified according to element and substrate attachment and according to coverage and defects.

The OSHA rules only generalize when it conies to inspection of heavy equipment, and they just cover safety equipment. The best source for inspection criteria is manufacturer s documentation. If that documentation does not have a comprehensive checklist, then you should assemble your own from the operating instructions and maintenance procedures.

The housekeeping and inspection section of the chemical hygiene plan should establish cleaning procedures and acceptable methods and cleaning chemicals. It should identify basic inspection criteria for all lab participants prior to and during lab use. It should also include a training portion on these matters for school custodians.
