Introduction An inspection to determine equivalency of inspection methods is initiated primarily to evaluate the system used by the host on routine inspections when inspecting a relevant firm. The team members must respect the scope of such an inspection and the fact that it also is a regular event for the firm and license holder and, in most cases, is one of a series of routine inspections. Furthermore it is an important part of a confidence building programme and team members should act accordingly. Any major disagreement therefore must be discussed or solved and recorded amongst the team and not in front of the inspected firm. The inspection report issued by the host.
Evaluation report The report issued by the visiting inspector.
This is a short meeting for the team only, where inspection matters can be discussed in confidence within the team. Exit meeting A meeting held with the firm according to host procedure. This meeting takes places immediately before the inspection and the scope is to present the inspection environment for the visitor. The visiting inspectors should be offered inspection sites in principle from any of the relevant firms. The choice should be made from relevant firms included.
