I am aware of the requirements for magnetic particle and welding inspectors. Does anyone know of a quality or military standard that outlines the requirements for quality inspectors to have yearly eye exams including the ability to see colors?

This is also a requirement per ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code (VIII Div 1, 2004). On page 385 is defines Mandatory Appendix 8 Methods for Liquid Penetrant Examination (PT).

I know that various Aerospace OEMs require their suppliers to ensure that their quality inspectors have eye exams.

We are required by aerospace customers to go to the clinic and read the chart once a year. We also have to take a one time color test. We have a form and the results are kept on file for review. So I am assuming that AS standards require this, anyone know for sure?

Funny, we went through this for quality inspectors of aviation fuels at my old job. The trick was, Connecticut law allows for strict confidentiality of employee medical documents, therefore the only thing we could provide was "ABC took an eye exam for acuity and color blindness with passing results".

So as a heads up, watch where you step on this subject, if you plan on providing customers results of your employees' eye tests be sure you're on solid legal ground first.

The legal control of health information is, in general, a matter of State laws that vary greatly in scope and strength, and the situation has been described as "a morass of erratic law, both statutory and judicial, defining the confidentiality of health information."

Honeywell Aerospace requires that suppliers have inspectors' vision tested annually. The near vision test has been pretty helpful for the company I work for because people's eyesight changes and they don't get regular eye exams, so the testing keeps them on their toes.

One thing not addressed in any standard I've read is the use of inspection lenses and lights. Even a person with poor near vision can move their eyes to a focal length that works for close inspection.

One thing I don't like is Honeywell's recent change from a one-time test to an annual test for color vision. As I understand, poor color vision is an inherited trait, not one that develops over time. Once is enough.

We just began administering the Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test for anyone that judges color. From my understanding there are many companies that do this testing. The cost of the test is about $790.00 and comes with scoring software and is easy to use.
