Boeing utilizes various methods of Product Verification (PV) to ensure product conformance to requirements. PV activities performed at the supplier’s facility by Boeing Supplier Quality personnel may include:

• Buyer Source Inspection (BSI)
• Supplier Inspection Delegation (SID)
• Boeing First Article Inspection (BFAI) – additional information
• Conformity
• Other Verifications/Inspections

The method of PV is based upon flow down of requirements, such as the Prime Contract, potential risk, supplier performance and other factors.

The PV activities are in scope of the contractual General Provisions (e.g., GP1) addressing Boeing right of surveillance and the review of goods and related procedures, practices and processes.
