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.
