# CIO Inspection Ltd > Independent quality inspection, SPC, dimensional, mechanical and electrical inspection and PAT testing in Southend-on-Sea, Essex and across the UK. - Website: https://cio-inspection.com/ - Phone: +44 7553 436 084 - Email: info@cio-inspection.com, abbas.ozden@cio-inspection.com - Address: 97 Archer Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS2 4QZ, United Kingdom - Founded: 2020 - Founder: Abbas Ozden — A skilful professional with deep experience in dimensional quality control and electrical inspection. More than 10 years of experience in the manufacturing and inspection sector. Deep knowledge of dimensional calibration techniques and statistical process control methods. Technical and practical expertise in machine and construction electricity and in applying inspection methods. Skilled with resistance, insulation, vibration, sound and thermal measurement equipment. ## Services - Dimensional & Mechanical Inspection: The dimensional accuracy of parts is one of the most important quality aspects in production. We carry out visual, geometrical and dimensional inspections against your technical drawing — including tolerances, fits and GD&T — and deliver a final report on where defects are found, with advice on how to eliminate them. - Statistical Process Control (SPC): SPC is a statistical method to monitor and improve the production process. Control charts and capability studies (Cp, Cpk) help you monitor your entire production, detect issues within the system and solve problems affecting final product quality — before they become scrap. - Electrical Quality Inspection: Electrical inspection for construction, production and engineering — winding resistance, voltage & current, insulation resistance, harmonics and FFT analysis, partial discharge, sound & vibration — checking your system's specifications and compliance with the latest regulations. - PAT Testing: Portable Appliance Testing for offices, workshops, shops and landlords. Formal visual inspection, earth continuity and insulation testing, pass/fail labels and a full asset register — helping you meet your duties under the Electricity at Work Regulations. ## Guides - [Quality Inspection & Engineering Support](https://cio-inspection.com/insights/quality-inspection-engineering-support.html): Independent quality inspection and engineering support in the UK: incoming, in-process and final inspection, supplier quality and root-cause analysis. - [Statistical Process Control (SPC): A Practical Guide](https://cio-inspection.com/insights/statistical-process-control-spc.html): What is Statistical Process Control (SPC)?

Quality inspection and engineering support, Statistical Process Control (SPC), dimensional and mechanical inspection against technical drawings, electrical quality inspection (insulation and winding resistance, voltage and current, harmonics and FFT analysis, partial discharge, sound and vibration) and PAT testing. ### Where is CIO Inspection based? We are based at 97 Archer Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS2 4QZ, and work with customers in Essex and across the United Kingdom. ### What is Statistical Process Control (SPC)? SPC is a statistical method to monitor and improve a production process. Control charts show whether a process is stable, and capability indices such as Cp and Cpk show whether it can meet the tolerance. ### What is included in a dimensional inspection report? A ballooned drawing; the nominal value, tolerance, measured value and result for each characteristic; the equipment used and its calibration status; photographs of visual defects; and recommendations on how to eliminate any defects found. ### Is PAT testing a legal requirement in the UK? The law does not name PAT testing specifically, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical equipment to be maintained so that it does not cause danger. A documented programme of inspection and testing is the most practical way for employers and landlords to meet and demonstrate this duty. ### How often should portable appliances be tested? There is no single fixed interval. It depends on the type of equipment, how it is used and the environment — equipment on construction sites and in workshops needs more frequent checks than IT equipment in offices. ### How can I get a quote?
