Inspection, Testing & Verification (ITV)

Independent inspection, testing, and verification services for Irish manufacturers, fabricators, and construction firms — from weld inspection to asset integrity management.

At Clearscope, we find a solution to every problem

Every certification, every compliance claim, every quality assurance commitment ultimately depends on physical evidence. Inspection, Testing & Verification is the hands-on discipline that produces that evidence — verifying that materials, processes, and finished products meet the standards they claim to.

Clearscope brings this capability in-house, drawing on decades of experience from our roots in Irish steel and manufacturing. We bridge the gap between the factory floor and the boardroom — connecting physical inspection data with your ISO management systems, CPR obligations, and sustainability reporting.
