A method for examining a component, wherein the method comprises:

• determining an actual value of a first parameter of a first characteristic of the component;
• determining an actual value of the first parameter of at least one further characteristic of the component;
• determining a first statistical characteristic variable of the actual values of the first parameter;
• and
• classifying the component on the basis of the first statistical characteristic variable and the actual values of the first parameter, the component being classified in a predetermined quality class if the first statistical characteristic variable is outside a predetermined first characteristic variable range or at least one of the actual values of the first parameter is outside a predetermined first range of values.

The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

• determining an actual value of a second parameter of the first characteristic of the component;
• determining an actual value of the second parameter of the at least one further characteristic of the component;
• and
• determining a second statistical characteristic variable of the actual values of the second parameter;
• the component being classified on the basis of the second statistical characteristic variable and the actual values of the second parameter and being classified in the predetermined quality class if the second statistical characteristic variable is outside a predetermined second characteristic variable range or at least one of the actual values of the second parameter is outside a predetermined second range of values.
