The main quality assessment techniques provided by BBL are:
Inspection during manufacture of materials and equipment
Inspection of civil constructions and electromechanical assembly
Witnessing of the final manufacturing, type, reduced model testing and equipment
  commissioning
Conducting or witnessing nondestructive testing
Inspecting equipment in use or in maintenance
Auditing manufacturers’ quality system, process or product
Subcontractors qualification or auditing

Below is a list of electromechanical equipment normally submitted to quality assessment, although other components may be included:
