What characterizes 'intermediate source inspection'?

Intermediate source inspection is characterized by medium to medium-high risk situations which require some level of inspection activities. This classification typically applies to equipment and processes that are not as critical as those requiring full-time oversight but still carry enough risk that they cannot be ignored.

In this context, the focus is on identifying potential issues through a moderate schedule of inspections, which allows inspectors to catch problems early before they escalate. This type of inspection recognizes the balance of risk versus necessity, ensuring that necessary precautions and evaluations are in place without the burden of constant oversight.

Maintaining a level of scrutiny appropriate for medium risk helps ensure that equipment remains compliant with industry standards and functions safely.
