1. Sampling plan: Determine sample size and acceptance criteria based on AQL standards 2. Visual inspection: Check product appearance, color, labeling and packaging 3. Function test: Test product functions against specifications 4. Dimension measurement: Measure critical dimensions within tolerance 5. Photo documentation: Document inspection process and results with photos
