What does the lower portion of the inspection checklist include?

The lower portion of the inspection checklist is designed to categorize defects, which is essential for organizing the findings from the inspection. This structured format allows inspectors to clearly indicate the nature of any defects found during the inspection process, making it easier to communicate specific issues that need to be addressed or repaired. By categorizing defects, it ensures that all relevant details are documented in a systematic manner, which can be essential for tracking issues over time, facilitating future inspections, and providing clear communication to stakeholders about the condition of the equipment.

In contrast, while a summary of repair costs, additional repair notes, and legal disclaimers are all relevant aspects of inspections, they serve different purposes and would typically not be found in the lower portion of the inspection checklist focused on defect categorization. A summary of repair costs relates to financial assessments, additional repair notes may not fit into a standard checklist format, and legal disclaimers serve to protect all involved parties but do not contribute to the direct categorization of issues during the inspection.
