Clear scope. Clear limitations.
Inspections are visual and non-invasive. Areas are assessed where access is safe and reasonable at the time of inspection. Concealed components, inaccessible spaces and items obstructed by stored goods or insulation cannot be inspected.
Any access or inspection limitations are recorded in the report, together with recommendations where further investigation may be appropriate.
