It is shown that a separable ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra is inner quasidiagonal if and only if it has a separating family of quasidiagonal irreducible representations. As a consequence, a separable ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra is a strong $\text{NF}$ algebra if and only if it is nuclear and has a separating family of quasidiagonal irreducible representations. We also obtain some permanence properties of the class of inner quasidiagonal ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras.
