What type of testing might a supplier perform during acceptance tests?

The supplier performing acceptance tests would typically focus on verifying that the delivered goods or systems meet the specified requirements and function correctly. Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM) and visual inspection are key methods used in this context.

CBM allows for monitoring the performance and condition of equipment over time. This approach is particularly valuable because it assesses the actual state of the item rather than relying solely on theoretical standards or historical data. Visual inspections complement this by providing a straightforward assessment of physical condition, looking for visible defects or non-conformities that could affect operation.

Thus, performing CBM and visual inspections during acceptance testing ensures that any issues are identified before final acceptance of the product, confirming that it meets the quality and reliability standards expected by the receiving party.
