Quality & Metrology
Inspection is planned from the drawing, the route and your requirements. Metrology sits inside the fabrication, machining and automation packages, not beside them.
Inspection scope
Inspection stages from incoming material to final release
Incoming material
Checked against the purchase specification and the material certificates, before production starts.
In-process inspection
Dimensional checks at defined stages, driven by the inspection plan and the critical characteristics.
Final inspection
Measured against the agreed drawing revision, in the report format fixed at quotation.
Process validation
First-article inspection, process checks and capability studies where the part or the programme calls for them.
Calibration & traceability
Traceable calibration for every instrument used to release the work.
Customer documentation
Inspection reports, material certificates and partner-process records, assembled into one pack.
Deliverables
Documentation for your approval process
Depending on the agreed scope, the project documentation can include:
Drawing and revision reference
Inspection plan and identified critical characteristics
Dimensional inspection report
First-article report, where required
Material certificates, where available and specified
Special-process certificates from qualified partners
Calibration traceability for the inspection equipment used
Open-point record and final release
Documents, format and approval route are agreed before production starts, not after the goods are complete.
Standards
Confirm the applicable requirements before quotation
Every enquiry is read against the drawing, your specification and the standards that apply. We publish a certification number or mark only where a valid certificate with a defined scope exists.
Qualification information
The facts needed for supplier assessment
The legal entity and the manufacturing site
What runs in-house and what runs through partners
The certifications that apply, and their scope
The inspection and documentation scope
The commercial and quality contacts responsible for it
Next step
Send the inspection requirement before production starts.
Send the drawing, critical characteristics, reporting format and applicable standard. We define the inspection route and state anything we cannot support.
