Which statement about offline verification inspectors under NSIS is correct?

• A. It allows for two offline verification inspectors per line shift (as opposed to 1)
• B. It eliminates offline verification inspectors
• C. It requires five offline inspectors per line
• D. It increases online inspector counts to six

Answer: (A)

Two offline verification inspectors per line shift ensures independent, redundant verification of production records and procedures. By having two people review and cross-check what happened on the line, the reliability and accuracy of verification improve, and there’s coverage if one inspector is unavailable. This setup supports separation of duties and reduces the risk of missed noncompliance or data tampering.

Eliminating offline verification would remove an important independent check. Requiring five inspectors per line would be impractical and unnecessary for most operations, and simply increasing online inspector counts shifts the focus away from offline verification, which is where independent record review and verification occur.
