Inspection
Inspection is the process of carefully examining a product, process, or system to ensure it meets specified requirements and quality standards. It often involves visual checks or using measurement tools.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Inspection is a systematic examination or measurement of a product, process, or service against specified requirements to determine conformity, often involving visual assessment, non-destructive testing, or metrological analysis to detect defects or deviations.
