What items are typically inspected during an ordnance QA check?

• A. Exterior color only.
• B. Weight and dimensions only.
• C. Packaging material type.
• D. Physical condition of the case, seals intact, corrosion, tamper-evident indicators, labeling accuracy, and associated documentation.

Answer: (A)

QA in ordnance centers on safety and traceability, so inspections look at both the item and its paperwork, not just a superficial attribute. The best approach is to assess the physical condition of the case, whether seals are intact, any signs of corrosion, the presence of tamper-evident indicators, the accuracy of labeling, and the associated documentation. Exterior color alone doesn’t reveal tampering or integrity and misses critical safety details; weight and dimensions only check size and mass and won’t detect tampering or labeling errors; packaging material type matters for handling but doesn’t confirm the item’s safety status or proper records.
