Product inspection, tests and records verify that specified requirements are met. Critical characteristics are monitored by statistical methods, including pre-control, control charts, and SPC. Process capability indices, Cpks, are targeted to exceed 1.33. When sampling plans are employed, zero defects are allowed in any sample. Visual inspection criteria for chips, cracks and surface finish are documented. IEC Standard 60424 is used as a guide for evaluation of visual imperfections.
