Purpose
Device inspection can be used for company inspections or official certifications of devices.
Process flow
Device inspection includes the following phases:
The sampling procedure reduces the number of devices to be inspected or certified. Devices are selected randomly from a large number of similar devices.
The devices to be inspected are removed or replaced via the periodic replacement function or via a special replacement order.
The removed devices are inspected or certified. Inspection is carried out internally. Certifications or official inspection are usually carried out by inspection authorities.
Once the results of the certification are available, the individual devices are re-certified in the system and can be used again.
If the lot meets the certification requirements, the devices in the lot can be re-certified.
Result
The inspection process is used for inspecting and certifying individual devices. The sampling procedure is used for renewing the certification of many devices through inspection of a small number of devices.
