Inspection Report

A test report is a documented proof of the execution and results of a material test. It contains all relevant boundary conditions and serves for quality assurance and as contractual acceptance proof.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

A test report is a formal document that records the execution of a material test. It includes details such as the methods used, the measurement results, and all relevant environmental conditions.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

A missing or incorrect test report can lead to quality issues. Without a valid document, it's hard to prove material properties and avoid potential defects. An incomplete report can also cause legal problems.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

When creating a test report, keep these points in mind:

• Document the test equipment and methods used accurately.

• Note all measurement results and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).

• Sign the report by the inspectors who performed the tests.

• Store the document securely for at least 10 years.
