This project consists in converting the ISO PAS 22574 (Publicly Available Specification) into an ISO DIS Standard. The scope of such tool is to provide a process where manufactured friction product (finished product) is visually inspected for both particulate and cosmetic/functional defects. The visual inspection catalogue plays an important role in applied quality management and in the formation of quality awareness. Further, it is the responsibility of the operator/inspector to annually re-qualify inspection process to determine ability to distinguish known product rejects from acceptable product.
