1. An article inspection verification system provided in an article inspection line including at least one article inspection device that inspects a quality state of an inspection target article passing through an inspection section on an article conveyance path and determines whether the inspection target article is a non-defective product or a defective product based on a predetermined determination condition, the system comprising:
a physical effect generator that is attached to the article inspection device and generates a physical effect that causes the article inspection device to determine that the inspection target article passing through the inspection section is the defective product; and
a physical effect control unit that stores a generation condition for the physical effect by the physical effect generator and drives the physical effect generator during an operation of the article inspection line in accordance with the generation condition,
wherein the article inspection line includes a first article inspection device and a second article inspection device having different inspection types, the first and second article inspection devices functioning as the article inspection device, and
wherein one of the article inspection devices is an X-ray inspection device that irradiates an inspection target article passing through the inspection section on the article conveyance path with X-rays, and performs article inspection based on rejection of transmitted X-ray amount,
wherein the physical effect generator includes a first physical effect generator attached to the first article inspection device, a second physical effect generator attached to the second article inspection device, and a test piece movement mechanism that enters and retreats a test piece having a predetermined X-ray transmission characteristic into and from the inspection section in accordance with a control signal from the physical effect control unit.
