Intermediate Inspection
Conducted during early project phases to:
- Detect initial design or implementation issues
- Guide technical direction and technology selection
- Ensure compliance from the outset
An Industrial Intermediate Inspection is a planned quality control activity conducted at specific stages during the manufacturing or fabrication process, before final completion. It involves inspecting partially completed components, assemblies, or processes to ensure they meet specified requirements and standards. This type of inspection allows early detection and correction of deviations or defects, preventing them from affecting the final product.
Intermediate inspections are often aligned with the Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) and may include dimensional checks, welding inspections, material verifications, or pressure tests. They are essential for maintaining quality consistency, minimizing rework, and ensuring that the final product will meet all contractual and regulatory criteria.
