Inspector Training & Visual Defect Recognition

The supplied training material aims to help staff recognize defects that can occur in different products and understand what to inspect. The photographs show defect locations and selected comparisons. The source asks users to choose material appropriate to the product type.

No. This page is a defect-recognition reference. It does not establish universal tolerances or replace the applicable product specification, reference sample or inspection standard. Read the separate Appearance Inspection page when reviewing that standard’s criteria.

OK and NG identify the acceptable and unacceptable views in the specific source comparison. CR:1PC is retained on the loose-button example from slide 10, where the button detaches when pulled by hand. It is not presented here as a general sampling plan or acceptance rule.

The deck is marked revised 28 May 2019, R:04; that identifies its source version. The two visual source files do not establish inspector certification. Separate resource-management procedures define role-based training planning, assessment and effectiveness review. Completed training and assessment records are needed to evaluate their implementation.

The resource procedure uses written, oral or practical assessment as appropriate, followed by periodic sampling of staff competence to evaluate whether training remains effective for the role. New assignments and relevant work instructions also inform training needs. Attendance alone does not show that an inspector can apply the required criteria.

The quality-record and ethics procedures call for truthful, complete and accurate records, protection of confidential information and escalation of quality concerns. They prohibit fabricated results, concealed nonconformity, unauthorized changes to inspection results and unauthorized release of rejected product.
