on-site inspection

In-person facility check

An on-site inspection is an official examination conducted at the actual location in question rather than remotely or through documentation.

Building inspectors, health officials, and arms control monitors all perform on-site inspections: The treaty requires on-site inspections of nuclear facilities.

The term emphasizes physical presence—someone goes there and looks.
