The process of inspection

You want your product, installation or a situation to be independently and impartially inspected according to a certain regime, either because it's mandatory or because you have your own set of regulations. Kiwa helps you by carrying out all the necessary inspections and providing you with results that make sense. Read about the process of an inspection below.

  Preparing for inspection

  Many inspections are mandatory, others are voluntary and perhaps based on regulations you have drawn up yourself. In the latter case, it's up to you to decide what to have inspected. As we know how to navigate the world of inspections, we help you through the entire process, including communication with other parties involved, such as authorities.

  Inspection itself

  An inspection usually takes place on-site or can be performed remotely. It may be a visual inspection or involve sensing technologies such as ultrasonic testing. An inspector may be physically present on-site and perform the inspection manually. When performed remotely, cameras, sensors, drones or other automated devices are used.
