What it helps you decide
The report connects each conclusion to its inspected location and applicable criterion. It enables targeted correction and follow-up while making sampling, access limitations and unverified matters visible alongside the inspection outcome.
How to complete it
- Complete Inspection details and scope with actual attendance, location and exclusions. Verify Documents and acceptance criteria, including current revisions, before recording any acceptance result.
- For each Item ID, enter Location or activity, Inspection criterion and source, Actual result or observation and Evidence reference. Distinguish confirmed deviations from clarification questions.
- Assign Responsible person and Due date, then maintain Follow-up status. Summarize limitations and outstanding matters, leaving closure and signatures for actual review and verification.
Who prepares and reviews it
The attending inspector prepares it with relevant photographs and test references. A competent discipline reviewer checks evidence and limits; the authorized approver records the project's actual decision under applicable inspection arrangements.
A mistake to avoid
Writing an overall pass without stating inaccessible or uninspected areas can make a limited inspection appear to confirm the entire installation against all requirements.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: an inspector checks accessible supports on a ventilation installation but cannot reach an enclosed section. The report records inspected locations, photographs and a support-spacing observation, while stating the access limit. The responsible engineer decides corrective follow-up and what additional inspection is needed before wider conclusions are possible.
