Quality control (QC)

In Oversight, quality & inspection

Quality control is the hands-on checking done within the trial process to verify that the work meets requirements. Examples include a second person reviewing entered data, or checking a file against a completeness checklist. Quality control checks the output; quality assurance checks the system that produced it.
