In-Process Inspection and Testing

5.1First Article Inspection

5.1.1 When starting new production and whenever processing equipment or machines are

reset for any reason (for example, maintenance, repair, tool change, product change,

etc.) the set-up may need to be verified by conducting the first article inspection.

Quality Control department is responsible for determining whether first article

inspection will be required for a given product and/or process.

5.1.2 First article inspections are called out in the production work order.

5.1.3 QC inspectors conduct the first article inspection. When the result of the inspection is

satisfactory, the inspector signs off the work order on the line where the inspection is

called out. The sign-off constitutes the record of the inspection, identifies the

inspector, identifies the inspection status of the product, and authorizes continuing

production.

5.2Operator and QC inspections

5.2.1 Process operators and other production personnel visually inspect their work.

Personnel are instructed what to look for and how to identify nonconforming product.

When the visual inspection is specified in the quality plan and must be recorded, it is

called out in the production work order.

5.2.2

QC inspectors or process operators also perform more technical inspections that

involve the use of gauges or other measuring equipment. Personnel performing these

inspections are either provided with written instructions and acceptance criteria, or are

trained in performing the inspections. Inspections in this category are called out in the

production work order.

5.2.3 When the result of the inspection is satisfactory, the operator/inspector signs off the

work order on the line where the inspection is called out. The sign-off constitutes the

record of the inspection, identifies the inspector, and identifies the inspection status of

the product.

5.3Release of product

Products are prevented from passing on to the next processing stage before all specified

in-process verification activities are completed with satisfactory result. Products that are

released for further processing or use are identified with INSPECTED tag.

5.4

Non-conforming product

If a nonconforming product is identified, the operator/inspector labels the product with

REJECTED tag and prepares a product nonconformity report. Operators are prohibited

from proceeding to repair nonconforming product without first reporting to Quality

Control department.

6 Final Inspection and Testing

6.1Scope

At a minimum, the scope of final inspection comprises:

Review of the work order to ascertain that all specified operations, processes, and

in-process inspections are signed off;

Review of material certificates, inspection reports, control charts, and other quality

records established prior to or during production;

Visual inspection of product to ascertain that all specified operations are

completed and to detect any visible quality problems;

Taking measurements and testing to complete the evidence of product

conformance; and

Recording the actual measurements and test results.

6.2Carrying out the inspection

6.2.1 For complex products, and in particular when functional testing is involved, QC

inspectors are provided with checklists, inspection procedures, inspection report

forms, and other instructions as appropriate.

6.2.2 Products that pass all reviews, inspections, and testing are labeled with ACCEPTED

tag and the inspector signs off the work order on the line where the final inspection is

called out. Passed products are then moved to the area where finished products arestaged for packaging and/or shipping.

6.3Nonconforming product

When a nonconforming product is identified or quality documents are incomplete, the QC

inspector labels the product with a REJECTED tag, prepares a nonconformity report,

marks the nonconformity report number on the tag, and moves the product to a designated

area. The nonconformity report is further processed per QSP-5100-01Control of

Nonconforming Product.

6.4Release of product

Only QC inspectors have the authority to release product. The identity of the person

releasing product is recorded. Only product that is identified with ACCEPTED release

label or tag may be packaged and/or shipped.

6.5 Inspection record

To establish the final inspection record, inspectors signs and dates the work order on the

line where the final inspection is called out. Any checklists or reports prepared during the
