A pre-shipment inspection checklist for industrial machinery.

Scope and identity

• Match equipment, quantity, model and serial information to the signed scope.
• Check drawings, nameplates, principal components and agreed alternatives.
• Record exclusions, optional items and outstanding deviations.

Test and evidence

• Confirm the test material, conditions, duration and measurable outputs.
• Capture dated records and photographs tied to identifiable equipment.
• List corrective actions, owner and deadline for each deviation.

Shipment handover

• Check packing, protection, shipping marks and lifting points.
• Review packing list, documents, spare parts and manuals.
• Confirm who accepts the result and what happens if the test fails.

For regulated equipment or local standards, use a qualified inspection body and obtain destination-specific advice.
