 > Grolink Inspection Handbook
This is a sample handbook containing basic methods, instructions and procedures for the performance of inspections and project evaluations. It is developed as a sample document by Grolink AB, but is meant to be amended by any Certification Body as appropriate.
As it is a fully working sample it may be used straight away if you just fill in some vital information by replacing text in brackets or in capital letters, this is a quote from the introduction to the document:
"It consists of a main document and annexes. The handbook is not repeating what is in the [Operating Manual] of CERTIFICATION BODY. If there are any contradictions (this should not be the case, but can never be 100% guaranteed) in this handbook and the [Operating Manual], the [Operating Manual] is valid, since that it is the main document of CERTIFICATION BODY Control system. For definitions see the [operating manual].
Inspectors are encouraged to document their special experiences and suggestions. These may well, at a later stage, be incorporated in the handbook or made available for other inspectors in copied form. The handbook will be revised as needed or at least biannually, by the [CERTIFICATION OFFICER]"
