检查可能意味着有效的交叉连接控制程序和纸老虎之间的差异。协调和教育可以完成项目所需的大部分工作；其余部分由监管来弥补。每一个方面都存在于检查职能中的单个活动中:评估系统、选择策略、自我准备、检查现有设施、审查计划和检查新建筑。正确设置并遵守这些程序可以简化交叉连接控制程序管理。

Inspection can mean the difference between an effective cross connection control program and a paper tiger. Coordination and education can accomplish a large portion of the work necessary in a program; regulation makes up the rest. Each of these aspects is present in the individual activities which are included in the inspection function: assessing the system, selecting a strategy, preparing yourself, inspecting existing facilities, review plans, and inspecting new construction. These procedures, properly set up and adhered to, can simplify cross connection control program management.
