Which of the following items is included in a typical VT procedure?

• A. Scope of VT, equipment list, lighting requirements, acceptance criteria, step-by-step instructions, inspector qualifications, records, and hold points.
• B. Client requirements, project budget, and delivery timeline.
• C. Step-by-step instructions, inspector qualifications, records, and hold points.
• D. Scope of VT, equipment list, lighting requirements, acceptance criteria, but no hold points.

Answer: (D)

A VT procedure is about defining what will be inspected, with what tools, under what lighting, and what will be considered acceptable. The essential items focus on the scope of the VT so you know exactly what surfaces or features to evaluate, the equipment list so you have the right magnification, mirrors, or borescopes if used, the lighting requirements to ensure flaws are visible, and the acceptance criteria that give a clear pass/fail standard. Hold points, while important in process control, are not a standard part of the VT procedure itself; they belong to broader workflow/QA documentation and control points rather than the inspection script. So listing the scope, equipment, lighting, and acceptance criteria, with no hold points, best captures what a typical VT procedure contains.
