First Article Inspection Report (FAIR)
Comprehensive verification that new or modified parts meet all design specifications and requirements.
About This Template
The First Article Inspection Report (FAIR) is a detailed quality verification performed on the first production part from a new or modified process. Required by AS9102 in aerospace and widely used across manufacturing, this template ensures that parts meet all dimensional, material, and functional requirements before full production begins. The FAIR process catches design or manufacturing issues early, preventing costly production of non-conforming parts. This template guides inspectors through complete verification of all characteristics, with documented evidence and traceability to calibrated measurement equipment.
