Start here: Reviewer

Independently approve exact plans, definitions and instrument references.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Reviewer

On this page

As Reviewer, check that the proposed inspection requirements match the approved method and independent expectations. Use your own identity and complete recent Accounts authentication for approval decisions.

Review exact method and plan evidence

Open Plans and inspect the complete draft, supported domains, bindings, additional rules and proof examples. Confirm method references, source identities, exact limits, units, repetition counts and mandatory supervision. A model proposal or passing selection proof cannot supply missing engineering approval.

Where Expert approval needed appears, inspect the full pending definition and supplied expert statement. Approve this exact definition only after establishing its intended authority. You must be independent of every plan contributor. Definition approval creates a revised draft and invalidates proof; plan activation is a later decision.

Activate independently

Use Run proof examples and inspect its retained result. Approve and activate requires the current passing proof, exact unchanged plan and a Reviewer who has not contributed a saved draft to that plan. A person who also holds Author authority remains ineligible if they contributed.

After activation, inspect the retained release and tell the Supervisor which contexts it covers. A conflicting family/drawing binding in another active plan is refused rather than guessed.

Review instruments separately

On Instruments, read the actual uploaded qualification source and exact method, range, unit and validity. A different person from the preparer must approve the reference. Reviewer or Supervisor authority can revoke an instrument with a reason, preventing further use while retaining history.

Your Reviewer role does not authorise quality disposition of inspected units. A Supervisor handles required release, holds, corrections and retests. Read proof and approval and instrument references.
