Which procedure requires checking equipment for damage before installation?

• A. Start-Up Protocol
• B. Inspection Requirement
• C. Repair Plan
• D. Maintenance Schedule

Answer: (B)

Before installing equipment, you need to verify there are no defects that could affect safety or performance. This pre-installation check is what an inspection requirement calls for. It ensures you systematically look for damage, missing parts, or wear before the equipment goes into service, catching issues that could cause failures or hazards once live.

Other options describe different stages or plans: a Start-Up Protocol covers the steps to bring the system into operation after installation, not the before-install checks; a Repair Plan is about actions to take after damage is found; a Maintenance Schedule lists routine upkeep over time rather than a one-time pre-install inspection.
