Inspection is the act of measuring process carefully involving examining, gauging, testing the material, equipment, or activity in accordance with the procedures and specifications to ensure its conformance with specific requirements. The Inspection may be performed visually or with special tools or equipment, and the results are usually compared to specified requirements and standards.
Reference Definition by Aiche.org: Inspection is a work activity designed to determine if ongoing work activities associated with operating and maintaining a facility comply with an established standard. Inspections normally provide immediate feedback to the persons in charge of the ongoing activities, but normally do not examine the management systems that help ensure that policies and procedures are followed.
