Abstract
The paper describes a structured approach to inspection, the purpose of inspection, and its specific objectives, with the aim of providing a basis for an inspector to structure his activities such that the inspection results may be expressed quantitatively. The various objectives of inspection are discussed as they relate to the origin of threat (adversary), the degree of assurance required, and the inspection body. The basic aim of inspection is discussed as it relates to the role of assessment. The degree of the safeguards assurance is described in increasing levels of inspecting activity. And the various roles (responsibilities) in the inspection process are discussed as they relate to the threat they are designed to counter.
