Spot check is a a close look at a few items in a group.

Within the EQIPD framework, spot check is an examination of various activities and processes to make sure that everything is being done according to the expectations.

For a spot check, data / experiments may be selected randomly to see how well the RU is doing by finding answers to questions such as: - how easy is it to retrieve and reconstruct the data? - are study protocols completed prior to the start of experiments? - have data been generated in an unbiased fashion? - have all results been reported?

Spot checks are typically conducted by a Process Owner or someone to whom this task is delegated.

If a research unit undergoes an internal or external assessment, the assessors may also conduct spot checks to evaluate the overall performance and to identify processes or specific examples for an in-depth discussion with the research unit.

-For a spot check, data / experiments may be selected randomly to see how well the RU is doing by finding answers to questions like ‘how easy is it to retrieve and reconstruct the data?’, ‘have data been generated in an unbiased fashion?’ or ‘have all results been reported?’. The site visitor / assessor / auditor selects tests from the RU and organizes data transfer from studies for in-depth review, based on the study overview sent by the RU beforehand. During the course of the spot check, the site visitor / assessor / auditor can arrange data discussion meetings with scientists from the RU to ensure proper understanding of the data. At the end of the review, feedback will be provided to the RU and a report with observations will be sent. The RU may be requested to respond to these observations. In scope for a spot check are all studies…. (here we could set priorities, e.g., published studies, critical assays etc.).
