Final Assembly Torque Spec Audit - Appliance Line

Inspection template for auditing completed appliance units to verify fastened joints were torqued to specification, calibrated torque drivers were used, and calibration records are current.

Audit Setup and Sample Identification

• Audit scope and sample size documented
  Record the work order, line, shift, lot, and number of units selected for audit.
• Sampled unit identification recorded
  Capture serial number, model number, and unit identifier for each audited appliance.
• Audit location and time recorded
  Document where and when the audit was performed.
• Relevant assembly work instruction or torque spec available
  Confirm the current approved torque specification or work instruction is available for reference.
• Inspector verified the correct product variant
  Confirm the sampled unit matches the model, revision, and fastening specification being audited.

Torque Specification Verification

• Required fastened joints identified and checked
  Confirm all specified joints on the sampled unit were included in the audit plan and physically checked.
• Observed torque condition matches specification
  Verify the fastened joints show no evidence of under-torque, over-torque, stripped threads, loose hardware, or damaged fasteners.
• Measured torque value for primary joint
  Record the measured torque for the primary audited joint.
• Measured torque value for secondary joint
  Record the measured torque for the secondary audited joint, if applicable.
• Torque measurements within acceptable range
  Confirm measured values fall within the approved tolerance range for the audited joints.

Torque Tool and Calibration Verification

• Torque tool ID recorded
  Record the tool serial number or asset ID used on the audited unit.
• Tool calibration status verified
  Confirm the torque tool used was within calibration at the time of assembly.
• Calibration due date recorded
  Record the calibration expiration or due date for the torque tool.
• Calibration certificate or record available
  Verify calibration documentation is available and traceable to the specific tool ID.
• Calibration label legible and current
  Confirm the tool calibration label is present, legible, and not expired.

Non-Conformance and Corrective Action

• Non-conformance identified
  Indicate whether any torque, fastening, or calibration non-conformance was found during the audit.
• Deficiency description
  Describe the observed deficiency, affected unit(s), and suspected cause.
• Containment action initiated
  Confirm affected units were identified, segregated, or placed on hold pending disposition.
• Corrective action owner assigned
  Record the responsible person or team for corrective action follow-up.
