This specification provides the definition of the Inspection
request message (INSREQ) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
A message sent by a supplier to inform a customer that items
are ready for inspection prior to despatch.
1.2 Field of application
The Inspection request message may be used for both national
and international applications. It is based on universal
practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and
is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
1.3 Principles
An Inspection request message is sent by a supplier to a
customer's inspection service, or a third party who is acting
on his behalf indicating that items are ready for inspection.
The inspection process is generally to ensure that the articles
are in compliance with a base document such as a purchase
order.
