The record must clearly and fully state the contents and standards applied during the inspection, including the standards the equipment owner requires for the inspection which have higher safety criteria than those specified in TCVNs (when the equipment is manufactured according to the corresponding standards and safety criteria).

The inspection record is made into two (02) copies, each party is responsible for keeping one (01) copy.

- Summarize the inspection results in the equipment's history (clearly stating the inspector's full name, inspection date, and applied standards).

- Affixing the inspection seal: When the equipment meets safety technical requirements, the inspector will affix the inspection seal on the equipment (The inspection seal template is as prescribed by the Ministry of Defense). The inspection seal is affixed in an easily observable position.
