3.1
Inspection
The activities of determining, inspecting, testing and measuring one or more characteristic value(s) of a kind of product or service, and comparing such values with the specified ones to determine whether they are acceptable.
3.2
Testing
All operations or activities of determining one or more performance and characteristic value(s) of one kind of material or product.
3.3
Non-specific inspection and testing
The inspection and testing carried out by the manufacturer according to self-specified procedure to judge whether the products manufactured with the same production process meet the requirements of the contact.
Note: the inspected and tested products may not be the actually delivered products.
3.4
Specific inspection and testing
The inspection and testing carried out on all or part of delivered products according to the technical requirements of the contract before delivery, so as to verify whether they meet the requirements of the contact.
3.5
Inspection representative
The inspection representative may be one or several people, and they may be:
a) The inspection representatives authorized by the manufacturer, who cannot be engaged in any production procedure of the production line;
b) The representative authorized by the user;
c) The inspection representative designated by the third party.
3.6
Test unit
The number of pieces or tunnage of products at one acceptance or rejection based on the test carried out on sample product according to the requirements of product standard or the contact.
Notes:
1: see Figure 1.
2: It is also referred as "inspection lot" or "batch".
3.7
Sample product
The product (e.g. a plate) sampled from test unit during inspection and testing.
Note: see Figure 1.
3.8
Sample
Sufficient materials cut from the sample products to prepare one or several sample (s).
