When the inflatables arrive, they’re given an initial inspection to see if things are missing or any obvious problems, and if needed, are cleaned first.  The CO2 cylinders are removed and weighed.  If they meet the weight marked on the side of the cylinder, they can be reused, as long as they are not heavily corroded.  The inspectors will look for loose stitching, torn fabric, webbing; and check buckles, oral tubes, and inflators.  Once inspected, they can go on to testing.
