Review visible waviness or distortion using consistent viewing conditions and a suitable reference.
Dimensions & cutouts
Check size, thickness, shape, holes and cutout positions against the approved drawing and tolerances.
Edges & corners
Inspect for chips, cracks or rough areas, and check polishing or beveling against the specified finish.
