German term or phrase: i.O.

This is on a chart describing a company's QA program. There are a series of boxes followed by arrows. The first box is labeled Prüfung Muster. The arrow has the word "wenn" on top and the abbr. "i.O." below. I assume it's a pass/fail kind of thing. The raw materials provided by the supplier as subjected to tests and they either pass or fail. But what could i.O. be?
