A first article inspection (FAI) checklist for manufacturing quality departments to verify that the first production part from a new setup, tool, or process meets all drawing specifications. Covers dimensional measurements, material certification, surface finish, visual defects, functional fit, and documentation before releasing the full production run.

First article inspection prevents an entire batch of non-conforming parts. This structured form ensures every critical dimension is checked against the drawing, the material certificate matches the spec, and the QA engineer has a signed record of the acceptance decision.
