What is a Level VI Inspection?
A Level VI Inspection is a higher or stricter inspection standard than the regular Level I North American Standard inspection procedures and North American Standard Out-of-Service criteria. It is adopted and intended for use only on select shipments of radioactive material. One example of the stricter standard is that under the Level I Inspection Standard if 20% or more of the brakes on the vehicle or combination are out of adjustment the vehicle is placed North American Standard Out-of-Service . Under a Level VI inspection if any brakes are out of adjustment, the vehicle is placed North American Standard Out-of-Service.
