What is required at the 'advanced source inspection level'?

The advanced source inspection level is characterized by significant and proactive involvement in the inspection process, which includes weekly visits to the site where the equipment is being manufactured or assembled. This level of oversight is critical to ensuring that not only are the materials and fabrication processes compliant with the relevant standards, but also to identify and resolve any potential issues as they arise. By maintaining a regular presence, inspectors can monitor the quality of the work continuously, verify compliance with specifications, and provide immediate feedback to the supplier. This approach significantly enhances the effectiveness of the inspection process and contributes to the overall quality assurance of the final product.

Other options outline different approaches that do not align with the expectations at the advanced level. For instance, regular inspections with minimal oversight would not allow for the thorough engagement needed to manage more complex projects or potential problems. A final inspection before shipment only would lack the proactive measures required to address issues during the manufacturing process, while relying solely on supplier/vendor quality without external oversight can create risks in quality assurance that an advanced level of inspection aims to mitigate.
