What is a source surveillance inspector?

Source Surveillance Inspectors are professionals responsible for monitoring and verifying that materials, equipment, or products manufactured by suppliers meet specified quality and contractual requirements before they are delivered to the client or end user. They often work on behalf of companies or agencies to perform inspections at the supplier's facility, ensuring compliance with industry standards, technical specifications, and regulatory guidelines. Their duties may include reviewing documentation, conducting visual and dimensional inspections, witnessing tests, and reporting findings to ensure that the source of supply maintains quality throughout the manufacturing process.
