Term Definition PAKT Reference
Indication A signal or areas of signals or other responses that
indicate a possible defect and that shall be evaluated
in accordance with criteria in the NDT procedure.
Inspection Inspection is a process of verifying conformity with
a written requirement, which can be carried out at a
number of levels:
a) At the highest level, inspectioncan mean a formal
third party inspection to satisfy a legal requirement
for independent endorsement.
b) At the intermediate level, inspection can mean
verifying by a variety of means that a specification
has been met e.g. with regard to the overall
size and shape of a component.
c) The most specialised use of the word is synonymous
with NDT e.g. in-service inspection of
nuclear components
Because the word ”inspection” is in widespread use
throughout the world in each of the three senses
given above, no single meaning is given here. The
applicable meaning must be deduced from the context.
Inspection after installation
Inspection in order to establish if the installed
equipment complies with the specified requirements.
Inspection documents A common term for documents that control the
manufacturing inspections, installation inspections
and ISIs and the inspections in the plant. The documents
can include programmes, procedures, in-
structions, drawings etc.
Inspection group Grouping of the entities to be inspected, based on an
evaluation of the consequences of a damage and the
probability for the occurrence of such a damage.
Inspection Interval The period of time between two consecutive ISIs.
According to the definition of Qualification Defect,
the inspection interval may not be longer than the
time it takes for a defect to grow from qualification
defect size to acceptable defect size.
Note however, that if there is no reason to expect
defects to be present (the normal case), or if no defects
are detected in an ISI, the following inspection
interval may be calculated as the time of defect
growth from defect target size to acceptable defect
size.
