Hi Tania:
I, too, have had the same inspection experiences (saw a transformer
and prove solder time-temperature).
In the case of the transformer, I offered to take the inspector to
the transformer manufacturing plant to make the measurments during
the manufacturing process.
The particular transformer was not in production that day. So, I
set up a day when the transformer would be in production. The
inspector didn't show up, and never asked the question again.
By the way, the unwritten rule is that a product or component is
not required to be destroyed as a part of the inspection. Many
inspectors are not aware of this rule. I had a construction where
a component was installed in such a way that to remove it would
cause damage to several other parts, rendering the product unsalable.
The inspector insisted upon seeing the actual part; I refused. I
did show the uninstalled part to the inspector. Nevertheless, it
was an impasse, but we did not get a VN.
Best regards,
Rich
