An inspection method which quantitatively and simply assures a nitrogen concentration in a carbonitriding-treated bearing part, and a bearing part and a bearing for which a nitrogen concentration is quantitatively assured are obtained. An inner race, an outer race, and balls as bearing parts are each a bearing part made of JIS standard SUJ2 and having a carbonitrided layer formed in a surface thereof, wherein, after heat treatment at a heating temperature of 500° C. for a retention time of one hour is performed, a Vickers hardness at a position with a depth of 30 μm from the surface is higher than a Vickers hardness at a core portion, which is a region where the carbonitrided layer is not formed in a thickness direction of the bearing part, by not less than 130 HV.
