Which step ensures equipment is free from damage before installation?

• A. Pre-Delivery Check
• B. Pre-Launch Test
• C. Inspection Requirement
• D. Quality Assurance

Answer: (C)

Before installation, you need to confirm the equipment hasn't been damaged in transit or handling. An Inspection Requirement is the formal step that mandates a thorough check of the gear against its specifications, looking for dents, cracks, loose parts, or other signs of damage. By performing this check and documenting the results, you prevent installing compromised equipment and trigger proper remediation before use, which supports safe and reliable operation from the start. The other steps are geared toward different moments or goals: a pre-delivery check focuses on the condition on arrival, a pre-launch test verifies function after installation, and quality assurance encompasses broader process quality rather than a specific pre-install damage check.
