ED Decision 2023/013/R

INSPECTION OF PARTS IN PROCESS

The purpose of the inspection is to check at suitable points during production and provide objective evidence that the correct specifications are used, and that processes are carried out strictly in accordance with those specifications.

During the manufacturing process, each part should be inspected in accordance with a plan that identifies the nature of all inspections required and the production stages at which they occur.
The plan should also identify any particular skills or qualification required of person(s) carrying out the inspections (e.g. NDT personnel). This plan should be considered part of the documentation required by point 21L.A.124(d).

If the parts are such that, if damaged, they could compromise the safety of the aircraft, additional inspections for such damage should be performed at the completion of each production stage.
