Terminology question
Terminology question
(OP)
In most of the QC/QA world, as I understand it, "QC" is inspection and "QA" is the higher-level system management function that addresses root causes, etc.
In the bridge world, "QC" is the fabricator's QC/QA function, and "QA" is the owner's inspection to whatever extent they want to do it (some duplicate QC, some have more of a true QA function, some just do occasional audit & verification).
Is there a better standard term for what the bridge people call "QA"? Are there any codes or standards outside the bridge-building world that refer to this function?
Would I be better off posting this in the ISO forum?

QA: Not peeing on your hands in the first place.
RE: Terminology question
However, if we call QA QA, what do we call what we used to (improperly) call QA?
