Abstract: A fixing element and inspection system for examining the status of the fixing element are provided in the present invention. The fixing has a sensing material disposed therein for transforming the force acting on the fixing element into an electrical signal. A signal processing unit, powered by a radio frequency circuit, is coupled to the sensing material for transforming the electrical signal into a readable signal and then transmitting the readable signal to the inspection system through radio frequency so as to monitor the status of the fixing element. By means of the present invention, it is capable of inspecting and monitoring the status of a great amount of fixing elements rapidly and precisely, especially in occasion that extreme safety should be highly concerned, for example, fixing elements secured to the airplane.
