Which bracket check was actually made after release?

I am sorting old gusseted mounting-bracket records for our proposed FR5 fixture work. Aligned while held, outside the drawing after release, then an unexplained correction routine. The stage labels are sketchy. How would you establish whether the supposed final check really describes an unrestrained bracket? Records review only.

Who signed the final check, and can they identify its support arrangement?

Ask for the measured feature too. Aligned can mean several different checks.

And do not let a fixture-loading tick become a dimensional pass. Our setters use ticks for jobs that still need inspection

Final inspector is still here. I have the drawing revision and assembly identity, but the inspection sheet just says bench check. I have asked about the supports and the actual feature.

Bench check sounds reassuring until you ask what was on the bench. I would keep the inspector's explanation alongside the original sheet, especially if the proposal has already treated that entry as an unrestrained result.

Has the proposal already done that?

Yes. It says the brackets pass final inspection after removal. Inspector remembers using the checking fixture, which supports the bracket differently from the released measurement setup. Looking for its instruction now.

Different support does not automatically invalidate it. Compare each method with the drawing requirement.

Hassan is right. A checking fixture may be correct. We need its locating and holding conditions, not a vote against fixtures

Agreed. I meant the summary is ahead of the evidence, not that the inspector used an invalid method. Thank you for making that distinction explicit.

Found the instruction. The final fixture clamps the flange for a different feature check. Quality confirms that pass cannot replace the released flange requirement. So the two entries were answering different questions.

Then where is acceptance of the released flange recorded?

Not in this packet. Quality has asked the archive owner to trace it. I have removed the claim that the final tick closes the released failure from my review draft.

Does the correction instruction name that flange, or another feature? That may explain the missing route

The correction note names the flange, but gives no method or subsequent reading. I cannot connect it to an accepted released condition yet. That is the missing evidence, rather than a general claim that the fixture is bad.

Keep the failed released reading. It remains useful even while the later route is incomplete.

Proposal owner has replaced the summary. The clamped feature pass remains in its own column; flange acceptance after correction is now unverified. Archive enquiry is still open.

Who is carrying that enquiry into the new fixture review?
