Visual Inspection Certified Defects Challenge

Vision Inspection is a method for detecting defects using only the naked eye in order to confirm that equipment is operating correctly or that products are produced in accordance with specifications. This could include visual inspections conducted either in person or remotely with digital images.

This type of inspection will not require special equipment, however it does require special training to ensure that the inspector knows what they should be looking for when they look over the asset.

Visual Inspection Standards

It covers use for Visual Testing generally for non-destructive testing (NDT) both directly (eye) as well as remotely (endoscopes and cameras, etc.) refer to section 5.3 and ref. 4 for further explanation. It also provides methods for working to ensure adequate control of quality, including written guidelines and procedures.

Visual Inspection Standard defines a way of working that permits more consistent ways to be adopted across Europe in regards to how visual tests are conducted as well as allowing this standard to be brought to other European countries with no issues or miscommunications.

Its structure allows the use of standards for product development to bring them up in a document that is a child document, allowing specific details to be added without having to start with the basics. It is expected that more particular application standards and products can now be developed in a modular manner, like other NDT Methodologies.

Visual Inspection Qualification

Manual Visual inspection is the most popular method to perform 100 percent vision-based inspections of parental fluids and remains an essential process that all manufacturers have to continue to carry out.

Automated visual inspection, which comes with higher efficiency and lower operating expenses is a viable alternative. The automated visual inspection process has advanced dramatically over the past decade thanks to digitization as well as data processing providing manufacturers a steady process that isn’t affected by mood or fatigue.

In the first place, as per USP 1790>, The USP 1790> Visual Inspection of Injections the alternatives to visual inspection using manuals should be shown to have “equivalent or superior performance as compared the manual method of visual inspection” (1). It is the Knapp as well as the Kushner framework is a well-known method to verify that this is the case; it evaluates the probability of detecting defects through manual visual inspection with the effectiveness of detection using the alternative method (2). A company that has a successful manual inspection procedure is more secure in its base, which will drive the automated visual inspection qualification to the required degree of efficiency. This signifies that automated visual inspection certification doesn’t rely on a set of absolute standards however, it is based on relative criteria.
