compliance (control) Explanation: A possibility. See: http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/planning/BuildingControl/siteinspecti... "These mandatory requests for inspections refer to works covered up below ground but are not necessarily the only ones your Building Control Surveyor will make. Some projects require extra specific inspections such as reinforcement of concrete foundations and floor slabs and fire protection to the structure. Often you will be asked to tell your Building Control Surveyor when you intend to plaster or line a ceiling or wall so that he or she may call to inspect before work is covered. If you proceed without giving notice, we have the power to request that the works are opened up or exposed to demonstrate compliance with the Building Regulations." |

comment Explanation: IMO this is exactly the definition of an inspection as used in the NA context. If you really don't want to use 'inspection', 'compliance control' (or 'compliance inspection') as suggested by Marijke is an option, but it is gilding the lily IMHO. |
