Method for inspection of rubber product

A rubber product inspection method for inspecting internal flaws and/or surface defects of a vulcanized transparent or translucent rubber product includes: irradiating illumination light onto the rubber product, so that the light transmitted through the rubber product can be picked-up; and determining an absence or presence of internal flaws of the rubber product, based on an image of the transmitted light picked-up by an image pickup device. An inspection apparatus for executing the inspection method includes a transparent or translucent table on which the rubber product in placed; at least one light source and an image pickup CCD camera which are provided on opposite sides of the table.
