0.     INTRODUCTION

       This specification provides the definition of the Inspection
       report message (INSRPT) 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 customer’s inspection service, or his
       agent, informing a supplier and other interested parties of the
       results of the inspection carried out on items due for despatch
       to a customer.

1.2    Field of application

       The Inspection report 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 report message is sent by a customer's inspection
       service, or his agent, to a supplier and other interested
       parties indicating the results of an inspection on items that
       are due to be delivered to a customer. The inspection report
       indicates whether or not the items are in compliance with the
       reference document and in the case of non-compliance, either
       that the item has to be reworked, or the estimated cost of a
       non-conformity, if the item is not compliant but acceptable.
