Quality Control & Inspection Flashcards

What is the primary purpose of quality control inspections?

Answer: To verify work meets specified standards and identify deficiencies early

Quality control inspections verify compliance with standards and identify deficiencies early when corrections are less costly and disruptive.

How should material specifications be verified upon delivery?

Answer: Compare delivery against purchase order specifications and inspect for damage

Verifying materials against specifications and inspecting for damage upon delivery prevents non-conforming or damaged materials from being incorporated into work.

What should be done when materials do not meet specifications?

Answer: Reject the materials, document the non-conformance, and notify the supplier

Non-conforming materials must be rejected with documented non-conformance reports and supplier notification to maintain quality standards and contractual compliance.

Why is proper material storage important?

Answer: It preserves material properties and prevents degradation or contamination

Proper storage preserves material properties, prevents degradation from environmental exposure, and ensures materials perform as specified when installed.

What documentation should accompany quality control activities?

Answer: Test reports, inspection checklists, non-conformance reports, and corrective actions

Comprehensive QC documentation provides evidence of compliance, supports traceability, and creates records needed for audits and warranty claims.

How should equipment be selected for specific tasks?

Answer: Based on task requirements, capacity ratings, and safety certifications

Equipment selection based on task requirements, capacity ratings, and safety certifications ensures safe operation and effective task completion.
