READING NOTES
Define the inspection question
Visual inspection can identify visible irregularities, but the record should distinguish appearance from joint performance. Establish which characteristics matter to the application and which test method or purchase standard will be used. State who approves the acceptance criteria. Avoid treating a close photograph of a clean intersection as evidence of a load rating for the finished panel.
Make sampling reproducible
Record the batch identity and the position of each sample within the roll or panel. Include edge and interior locations where the agreed sampling plan requires them. If a destructive test is specified, document specimen preparation, equipment, test method and observed result. Keep the tested sample identity linked to the original material so a later review can determine exactly what was evaluated.
DECISION TABLE
Confirm the parameters against the project
Start with the application, then carry the required checks into the enquiry.Swipe horizontally on mobile to view the full table| Decision area | What to assess | Confirm in the enquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Define the actual application | Environment, function and installation |
| Specification | Confirm product and dimensions | Material, specification, quantity and tolerance |
| Delivery | Align packing and destination | Timing, packing, drawings or photos |
Record the decision and disposition
Use measured findings and a clear pass, hold or reject decision against the agreed criteria. Describe how a failed result affects the remaining batch and who authorizes additional investigation. Retain photographs as supporting evidence alongside the method and results. For structural or safety related uses, the project engineer should establish the required performance evidence for the complete mesh assembly.
