Which term describes the record used for periodic inspections?

• A. Daily inspection record
• B. Weekly inspection record
• C. Periodic Inspection record
• D. Test record

Answer: (C)

Periodic inspections are scheduled checks performed at defined intervals to verify equipment readiness and condition between daily and weekly tasks. The record used to document these checks is the periodic inspection record. It signals that inspections occur on a calendar-based schedule (monthly, quarterly, annually) and provides a traceable history of findings, dates, and corrective actions, which supports regulatory compliance and maintenance planning. Daily inspection records cover routine day-to-day checks, weekly inspection records cover weekly tasks, and test records capture specific tests rather than routine interval inspections.
