Inspection and Test Plan for Electrical Insulator

The inspection and test plan for electrical insulator article provides you information about electrical insulator test and electrical insulator inspection in manufacturing shop. The draft Inspection and test plan provided as well.

Insulator Inspection and Test Plan

You may need to review this sheet in conjunction of Third Party Inspection for Electrical Insulator article.

Click following link if you need to review general definition for Inspection and Test Plan.

Inspection and Test Plan

The IEC, NEC, NEMA, FDF, ISO ANSI, CI, IPCEA standard requirements normally are applied for inspection and test plan in manufacturing shop.

The witness of some inspection and test by third party inspector is mandatory and cannot be waived.

Some others must only monitored and fully witnessing are not necessary, for these thing, the inspection man-days etc. depends to the purchaser decision, some prefer stringent monitoring and even assign resident inspector in manufacturing shop and some others relay to quality control system of the manufacture and assign only few days for monitoring points.

These are some of inspection points which need to be witnessed, checking, monitored and reviewed by third party inspector in insulator manufacture shop.
