Complete failures and release only conforming work

Keep completion, result and disposition separate, with no concession release.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Operator, Supervisor

On this page

CheckStation records an inspection result and a quality disposition separately. A valid failed reading still counts as a recorded requirement. Completing a failed inspection retains the failure and keeps the unit held.

Complete the actual inspection

Record every required reading, repetition, file and mandatory review. Read outstanding requirements before choosing completion. Missing records prevent completion; a nonconforming recorded value does not disappear merely because it is inconvenient.

Submit completion once and read all three states: Completion, Result and Disposition. A conforming inspection without mandatory supervision or active holds may be released automatically. A conforming inspection with required supervision remains for a Supervisor decision. A failed inspection remains held.

Review a separate release

The Supervisor opens the exact attempt in Oversight and inspects readings, evidence, corrections, references, holds and any newer inspection. Use Release this conforming unit only after recent authentication and a meaningful reason.

Release requires completed, complete, conforming work with valid references, no active unit holds and no disqualifying later attempt or disposition. CheckStation provides no concession release for nonconforming work. A reason cannot override the passed-only gate.

Address the specific finding

Use the supported hold, reject, rework, cancellation or retest decision that matches the physical situation. Rework records that work is required; it does not repair or measure the unit. Control the actual unit through the site's quality arrangements.

A failed-check or rejected-evidence hold normally requires a completed conforming full successor and an explicit resolution linking it to the earlier failure. A true transcription mistake uses its exact correction path. Unrelated concerns and source, plan, instrument or restore barriers require their own review.

Confirm current permission

After every decision, inspect the saved current disposition. A later hold or correction can revoke an earlier release. Historical result documents retain their version and must not be used alone as current permission to dispatch or consume the unit.

If concurrent work makes a decision stale, refresh and inspect the current attempt. If a response is uncertain, reconcile the original action before another decision. Read full retests, transcription corrections and history and reports.
