Inspection is about assurance. It’s the process of independently verifying that a product, material, or system meets the required standards, specifications, and expectations - visually or through precise measurement - without necessarily altering or damaging it. Unlike testing, which often involves destructive methods to assess mechanical properties or performance under stress, inspection is typically non-destructive and focused on identifying visible and hidden defects, inconsistencies, or non-conformities. 

At Element, inspection plays a critical role in your quality assurance ecosystem - working hand in hand with testing and certification to give you full confidence in the reliability, safety, and compliance of your components and materials. For example, you might conduct radiographic or ultrasonic inspection during fabrication, followed by mechanical testing during final product validation, and rely on certification to demonstrate compliance to regulators and customers. 

Whether you're ensuring weld integrity, detecting micro-cracks in high-stress components, or validating dimensional tolerances on a precision-machined part, Element’s inspection services give you real-time, data-driven insights without interrupting your operations. Our experts help you minimize downtime, avoid costly failures, and reduce your risk profile while meeting the strict regulatory demands of industries like aerospace, automotive, energy, construction, rail, electronics, and life sciences. Backed by accreditations including ISO/IEC 17025, ISO/IEC 17020, ISO 9001, AS9100, NADCAP, and more, we offer one of the broadest, most trusted inspection service portfolios in the world. We’re not just a supplier - we’re your technical partner, embedded in your process, and invested in your success.
