2515-08.04 Completion of Inspection Procedures the inspector is to perform the inspection requirements most appropriate for the inspection sample being inspected in order to declare an activity (sample) as being satisfactorily completed
2515-10 INDEPENDENT INSPECTION As a general rule, inspections should be conducted in accordance with inspection procedures. However, it is not possible to anticipate all the unique circumstances that might be encountered during the course of a particular inspection and therefore individual inspectors are expected to exercise initiative in conducting inspections, based on their expertise, experience, and risk insights, as needed to assure that all the inspection objectives are met
Resource Estimates This estimate is for broad resource planning and is not intended as a measure for judging the inspectors or the regions performance. Actual inspections may require substantially more or less time, depending on the individual circumstances. - IMC 0040 07.02.e
