Completing a Modification and Repair Inspection Checksheet

The printed MRI form allows the manufacturer, inspection team, and regulatory inspector to sign off on the activities and add remarks. To complete the checksheet in APM, you can record information from the form in the checksheet, as well as enter the summary, analysis, and recommendations. When the inspection is complete, mark the checksheet as closed.
