Last Article Inspection (LAIR) Services in the UK

Final production quality matters just as much as the first. At The Calibration Lab, we deliver Last Article Inspection Report (LAIR) services across the UK to help manufacturers confirm product integrity at the close of a production run. Our experienced technicians ensure your final parts meet the required standards for dimensional accuracy, compliance, and reliability.

Whether you’re in aerospace, automotive, electronics, or high-precision engineering, we provide a clear, dependable inspection process that helps safeguard the quality of your final product batches.

What is a Last Article Inspection Report (LAIR)?

A Last Article Inspection Report (LAIR) verifies that the final part produced in a manufacturing batch meets all specified requirements. It includes a detailed comparison against engineering drawings, dimensional tolerances, and GD&T specifications. This process helps confirm that your production processes have remained consistent – and that the last-off component is as accurate as the first. Used as a quality control checkpoint, a LAIR reduces the risk of undetected process drift and provides documented proof of compliance before products are released to market.
