Frequently Asked Questions about Inspections
Inspections are independent examinations of products, installations, processes or services against defined requirements, usually to ISO/IEC 17020. Here you will find answers to the most important questions.
What is an inspection?
An inspection is the examination of a product, installation, process or service and the determination of conformity with defined requirements.
How does an inspection differ from a certification?
An inspection is typically a case-specific or point-in-time examination resulting in an inspection report, whereas a certification confirms ongoing conformity with a certificate. Both are independent conformity assessments with a different focus.
What is the result of an inspection?
You receive a documented inspection report that records the findings and the conformity with the underlying requirements. The report serves as objective, impartial evidence.
What criteria is the inspection based on?
The basis is the agreed requirements. Such as standards, rules, legal requirements or specifications. We define these clearly in the scope of work before the inspection.
