Despite the name, the inspected article may not necessarily be the 'first' produced. First article inspection is typically called for in a contract between the producer and buyer of some manufactured article, to ensure that the production process reliably produces what is intended.
First Article Inspection (FAI): A complete verification that the article being inspected complies with the requirements identified in engineering drawings, specifications, and purchase order as well as any other applicable design requirement(s). The FAI package shall include the FAI form, annotated drawing, and all supporting documentation (i.e certifications, test reports, etc). Note: The FAI may also be referred to as a First Article Inspection Report (FAIR) or an Initial Sample Inspection Report (ISIR). For the purpose of this document, all will be referred to as âFAIâ.
