Collect evidence against the assigned inspection before accepting or rejecting its scope.
Quality Manager records the inspection number, subject reference, type and scheduled date. The assigned person must map to the account that will conduct the work. Confirm the inspected subject before the first check begins.
Inspector starts the Planned inspection and records observations on its linked checks. Pass, Fail and Not Applicable describe completed assessments; Pending identifies checks still requiring attention. The command validates the actor and current source before applying the work.
Inspector moves the inspection from In Progress to Review after capturing the check evidence. An unchanged retry should retain the existing effect. Changed input under the same operation identity must not overwrite the original submission.
Quality Approver evaluates required check evidence. Eligible passing scope becomes Accepted. Failed scope becomes Rejected and raises a linked nonconformance with severity and containment responsibility. The decision must refer to the same inspection that supplied the evidence.
