QC1: Tile inspection

Before inserting the tiles, they should be inspected (in a stack of about 20 tiles):

All tiles should have similar blue color when back lit with flourescent light

Tile end surfaces should be clean and undamaged.

Tile wrappers should be approximately 2 mm below the tile end surfaces

After tiles have been inserted into the module, check that:

All tiles are the correct size and centered in slots (end surfaces should all be visible and about 4 mm below the edge of the master plates).

Tile end surfaces should be clean and undamaged.

Tile wrappers should be approximately 2 mm below the tile end surfaces.

Repair or replace any problem tiles.

Sign and date the check sheet.

Report any serious or recurrent problems.
