Point of Contacts Does the Inspection & Test Plan identify all the inspection bodies, subcontractors and
Defined vendors working on the site?

The Reason Why

The Quality Control Inspection Plan (QCIP) is the master document that controls the quality of the project
requirements. It can either control all sub contractors on site or control each subcontractor individually. The QCIP
must be in place and agreed by all concerned parties prior to the commencement of any construction activities.

Quality Training

Training of the site QC inspectors into their specific duties and involvement in the inspection activities must be
conducted prior to the commencement of any construction work.

The Requirements

The requirements of the QCIP must identify the following:

 The quality targets to be achieved in relation to the customers projects technical and contractual requirements.
 The specific assignments and responsibilities of the involved inspection parties.
 The specific procedures, methods and work instructions to be applied
 Methods for dealing with revisions and changes of the QCIP during the progress of the project
 Reference to inspection check sheets for each construction discipline

Use Construction Quality Control Inspection and Test Plans Purpose and scope
The purpose of an Inspection and Test Plan is to put together in a single document that records all inspection and
testing requirements relevant to a specific process. On a construction contract the process is likely to be a
construction activity, element of work, trade work or providing a product section. An Inspection and Test Plan
identifies the items of materials and work to be inspected or tested, by whom and at what stage or frequency, as well
as Hold and Witness Points, references to relevant standards, acceptance criteria and the records to be maintained.
Inspection and Test Plans, when properly implemented, help ensure that, and verify whether, work has been
undertaken to the required standard and requirements, and that records are kept.

Glossary

Hold Point - A 'hold' point defines a point beyond which work may not proceed without the authorisation of the
customer of customers representative.

The customer of customers representative might be an agency's or other or a regulatory authority (such as a council,
Third Part Testing Authority Surveillance - Intermittent monitoring of any stage of the work in progress (whether by
the service provider or customer). Self inspection - Where the service provider performing the work verifies the quality
progressively often with the aid of checklists. Work area - A discrete section of the whole work, usually defined by
location, where any trade work or activity would be completed before it moves onto another area. Examples include a
wall, a room, a building, a length of pipeline between manholes and the like.

Roles and Responsibilities

There are no set rules as to who, contractor's organization, should document Inspection and Test Plans. It is
appropriate, however, that they receive input from those with a good technical and practical knowledge of, and
experience in, the activities involved. The use, understanding and acceptance of ITPs by inspectors and other
personnel will generally be contractor if they are involved in their preparation. The Contractor is responsible for
ensuring that all the required Inspection and Test Plans are prepared, including those covering work or processes to
be carried out by its subcontractors. While it is preferable sub contractors prepare the ITPs for their own work, in the
final analysis some may require the contractors involvement. A senior representative of the contractor would be made
responsible for approving Inspection and Test Plans, and any subsequent amendments, prior to their submission or
submission of compliance/conformity certification to the customer. The contract conditions would define the
submissions to the customer and any responses required.

Overview

The following steps are involved in documenting Inspection and Test Plans for a construction contract: -

Step 1 Read the contract documents (including the technical specifications) and prepare a list of any discrepancies,
ambiguities, missing information and standards of materials and/or workmanship that it is considered are
inappropriate.

Step 2 Contact the customer and resolve the issues listed as a result of Step 1.

Step 3 Examine the scope of work and divide it into separate areas requiring an Inspection and Test Plan (where not
already prescribed in the contract documents). As a general guide it is normally most convenient to document a
separate Inspection and Test Plan for each trade or work area/section.

Step 4 Note the Hold and Witness Points required by the customer (including as listed in the contract documents).

Step 5 Review the contract documents again and note the requirements that have the most impact on the quality of
the finished work. For each ask the question "What will be the consequences if it is not made sure this is right?" Be
certain to include any references to tests, submitting information to the customer, obtaining approvals and Hold and
Witness Points.

Step 6 Determine from Step 5 which items or aspects of each inspection will need to be recorded on checklists and
prepare these.
Step 7 Discuss the checklists with those directly involved with the work and obtain their input. This input should
particularly be directed at identifying those issues that have caused problems (and involved extra costs) in the past,
and therefore warrant checking at the earliest opportunity to avoid unnecessary and costly rectification.

Step 8 Prepare each Inspection and Test Plan to reflect the requirements of the contract documents. Reference the
ITP in the Quality Management Plan and cross-reference to the other related ITPs.

Step 9 Issue each Inspection and Test Plan and/or associated certification to the customer for consideration within a
reasonable period prior to commencing the work described in the Plan and adjust them to suit any comment received
(or act as otherwise required in the contract documents).

Step 10 Decide how best to divide the whole of the work into work areas for control purposes and indicate these
locations either on a schedule (with reference to grids and levels) or by marking up drawings.

Step 11 Prepare and issue checklists for each work area and identify them according to location.

Step 12 Train those directly involved with each of the ITP in their use. Formalise a procedure for the notification of
Witness and Hold Points to the appropriate person(s).

Step 13 Carry out inspections and tests in accordance with the Inspection and Test Plans, provide notices to the
customer and/or regulatory authorities for Hold or Witness Points, as designated or applicable, and record the results
on checklists.

Inspection And Test Plan Supporting Information

Record the following contract particulars on each of the Inspection and Test Plans: - Quality Management Systems
Guidelines

 Contract Name
 Contract Number
 Description of process/activities for that particular Inspection and Test Plan.

Inspection and Test Plans General

Description of operation or stage of work requiring inspection or test Because 100% inspection and testing in most
cases is neither practical nor desirable, it is necessary to adopt a testing frequency and sampling process which
provides a representative indication of the work to suit the risks involved.

Inspections and tests are often best done after a number of separate activities, but prior to a major one that will cover
up previous work. Contractors and subcontractors would carry out preliminary tests to assist in obtaining an early
indication of conformity.

Inspections and tests vary to suit the risks and work involved this is completed by referring too prevous lessens
learned files and experaince of the technical personnel that are completing the ITP. Remember, the ITP provides
information to the site construction personnel as to what the customer has said what they want, (In the contract of
Project Specification)

The "what to test", "how to test" and "when to test" is governed by: -

 What the work is and how complex it is


 Accessibility for inspections and sampling
 Consequences of failure, including as follows:
 Cost of remedial work
 Effect on construction program
 Accessibility for rectification
 Disruption to use of building or structure
 Consequential damage to other elements
 Threat to safety of workers and public
 Availability of resources.

The type, timing and frequency (the what, when and how often) of inspections and tests are best determined in
conjunction with the consideration of the characteristics to be verified. Characteristics of inspection/test/approval
The characteristics of a work item can be defined as "a distinguishable property of an item, material or process".
Examples of characteristics are colour, texture, size, strength, flatness, alignment, capacity and the like.

The characteristics to be verified will frequently determine the stage at which the inspection or test must take place if
the potential for subsequent nonconformities is to be avoided. This further work might also cover up or deny access
for the purposes of verifying certain characteristics. Some characteristics can only be considered after one particular
operation and before another, such as the inspection of steel reinforcement after installation but prior to the pouring of
concrete.

Stage/frequency

The inspection/test stage/frequency will often be determined by the requirements of the contract documents or by the
type of inspection and/or test and the characteristics under consideration, as outlined above. In the latter case
however, there is the potential for a considerable range in what constitutes the most appropriate frequency and
sampling process. It is suggested that a representative sampling of the work to suit the risks involved be used as a
guide initially. Thereafter, frequencies would be increased and processes reviewed for'problem' work activities and
decreased where consistent conformity was evidenced.

QC Inspection Check Sheets

Records are essential to quality management because they provide the documented evidence necessary to verify
that a product/service is in accordance with the contract requirements. The records would be in various forms, and
would include the checklists, test certificates, certificates of compliance/conformity, survey data, written approvals
and the like. Inspection and Test Plans would help define the records required and will comply with Project payment
milestones and as-built turnover documentation.

Project Specifications Codes and Standards

The standards against which conformity is measured can take various forms. The most common source is usually the
contract technical specification. Other standards would often be referenced in this document, and may include any of
the following: -

 Contract documents/specification generally


 Contract drawings
 Approved workshop drawings and/or calculations
 Approved technical details/procedures
 Approved samples and/or prototypes
 Regulatory requirements
 Australian Standards
 International Standards
 Standard specifications
 Manufacturers' recommendations

Acceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria would normally be defined in the contract documents (either directly or by reference to other
standards such Inernational Codes and Standards). Where this is not the case it would be necessary to identify them
and possibly to agree them with the customer. It is preferable to establish acceptance criteria with the customer
(where they are not specified or clear) to agree the yardsticks (such as test panels/sections or previous work) against
which a product/service is to be declared conforming or nonconforming.

Inspection Test procedures

For many inspections/tests, the methods employed will be specified or self evident and determined by the
characteristics being examined. In other cases, however, the precise manner in which the inspection/test is carried
out would need to be identified and described. A clearly described test procedure will usually be necessary to help
achieve consistent and reliable results. A typical test procedure using statistical techniques might, for example, cover:
-

 reference to work areas/lots or batches


 frequency of sampling
 Quality Management Systems Guidelines 5
 method of taking samples
 method of conducting a test (including conditions)
 qualifications of test personnel and equipment calibration/condition/specification
 method of documenting results.

In some cases it may be possible to satisfy the requirements simply by referencing the requirements of the Code &
Standard.

Hold and Witness Points

It is the contractors and subcontractors responsibility to identify the Hold and Witness Points (with the people
responsible for the inspection/test/endorsement and other requirements) that are required for its contractors and
subcontractors employees doing the work. The contractor would do this to the extent that is necessary to be confident
that the work is being carried out to the standards required. The customer usually retains the option to inspect the
work at any stage and may identify Hold and Witness Points requiring the customer's attendance. When preparing an
ITP, the word "Surveillance" would be shown against all selected inspection or test points that are not otherwise
covered by Hold or Witness Points.

QC Inspection Checklists

As noted in with some work, the logical stage to carry out an inspection or test is often after a number of separate
activities, but prior to a major one that will cover up previous work. It is often useful to complete checklists at such
stages and with each inspection and test where they will, in effect, summarise the procedures that have, and should
have, taken place up to the particular point in the work process. QC Inspection Checklists are useful reminders to the
person doing the work of all the matters that are to be addressed. They are used to confirm all the matters have been
attended to. They are also reminders to the person inspecting the work of all the matters that should be checked. A
QC Inspection Checklist also gives an opportunity to record any special or unusual conditions under the contract, and
draw these to the attention of the people doing the work. For example, special precautions for protecting existing
work, notifications to the public, and other matters that might not normally be required for the particular trade or
activity, may be included.

The fact that QC Inspection Checklists exist, and that their use and content have been verified, would give a
customer confidence that the person doing the work is aware of all the important steps, attributes and matters to be
addressed, and the standards that should be complied with, and that conformity is being verified.

Inspection and Test Plan QC Inspection Checklist

The following typical checklist for Inspection and Test Plans has been designed to assist customers in assessing the
Contractors ITPs. It may also assist service providers in developing their ITPs, as a guide to the content of ITPs. The
customer may specify other items that would be addressed in the contactors ITPs to support the control of risks.

Using QC Inspection Checklist for As-built Verification and Mechanical Completion

A checklist is a structured form or questionnaire for collecting and analyzing data. This is a generic tool that can be
adapted for a wide variety of purposes. Collecting and analyzing data is important for identifying and understanding
problems and thus making appropriate changes to solve these problems.

Prospective Users
Inspection checklists are useful on construction projects that wants to improve quality and productivity, reduce defect
rates, and reduce re-work.

Problem Addressed:

 Increasing or high frequency of product faults.


 High rates of defective products requiring repair or re-work.
 High levels of waste materials.
 Low productivity.
 Verification documentation for as-building of the project for project turnover.

Process
This practice requires line managers and quality control staff to collect information about the number and sources of
defects in the construction process. Information about the number, causes and frequency of the defects are recorded
in the checklists and tallied to show totals. These totals can then be analyzed to see the times most defects are
made, the types of defects and the most common causes of defects. This information can then be used to reduce
defects.

Steps in implementation

1. Decide what construction activity will be observed or inspected.


2. Identify the period to be observed or inspected. This period should be relevant to the problem.
3. Develop a standard table or form for each type of construction activity based on criticality.
4. Name the columns and rows in the table.
5. The checklist form is usually an A4 sheet with a table with rows indicating types of defects and columns indicating the
time the mistakes are detected. The QC inspector fills in the number of defects of each type in the cell of the relevant
defect and time period. This checklist helps to identify the major types of defects.
6. Make standard format check sheets available each construction activity.
7. Discuss the results and draw conclusions.
8. Discuss possible actions for improvement.
9. The inspection checklists should be stored in a safe place.
10. The summary the inspection check sheet can be used as input for a quality improvement program. The checklist
totals can be used to identify which errors are most common, and to try to prevent these errors in the future. Workers
may need additional training or guidance in order to avoid making such errors.
11. Resources Required
o Line managers and QC quality inspectors' involvement.
o Check sheets.
o Document controller

Challenges and pitfalls


 Staff may feel they have more work to do.
 Difficulty in maintaining efforts to collect information.

Positive Impact

 Helps to record all faults and sources of faults.


 Saves money by helping to eliminate major sources of defects.
 Bench mark best practices for quality improvement.
 Transparent and honest reporting

Indicators for monitoring

 QC Check sheets form created and made available.


 QC Check sheets filled, summarized and discussed.

The Reason Why
The Quality Control Inspection Plan (QCIP) is the master document that controls the quality of the project
requirements. It can either control all sub contractors on site or control each subcontractor individually. The QCIP
must be in place and agreed by all concerned parties prior to the commencement of any construction activities.

Quality Training
Training of the site QC inspectors into their specific duties and involvement in the inspection activities must be
conducted prior to the commencement of any construction work.

The Requirements
The requirements of the QCIP must identify the following:

 The quality targets to be achieved in relation to the customers projects technical and contractual requirements.
 The specific assignments and responsibilities of the involved inspection parties.
 The specific procedures, methods and work instructions to be applied
 Methods for dealing with revisions and changes of the QCIP during the progress of the project
 Reference to inspection check sheets for each construction discipline

Use Construction Quality Control Inspection and Test Plans - Purpose and scope
The purpose of an Inspection and Test Plan is to put together in a single document that records all inspection and
testing requirements relevant to a specific process. On a construction contract the process is likely to be a
construction activity, element of work, trade work or providing a product section. An Inspection and Test Plan
identifies the items of materials and work to be inspected or tested, by whom and at what stage or frequency, as well
as Hold and Witness Points, references to relevant standards, acceptance criteria and the records to be maintained.
Inspection and Test Plans, when properly implemented, help ensure that, and verify whether, work has been
undertaken to the required standard and requirements, and that records are kept.Glossary
Hold Point - A 'hold' point defines a point beyond which work may not proceed without the authorisation of the
customer of customers representative.

The customer of customers representative might be an agency's or other or a regulatory authority (such as a council,
Third Part Testing Authority Surveillance - Intermittent monitoring of any stage of the work in progress (whether by the
service provider or customer). Self inspection - Where the service provider performing the work verifies the quality
progressively often with the aid of checklists. Work area - A discrete section of the whole work, usually defined by
location, where any trade work or activity would be completed before it moves onto another area. Examples include a
wall, a room, a building, a length of pipeline between manholes and the like.

Roles and Responsibilities


There are no set rules as to who, contractor's organization, should document Inspection and Test Plans. It is
appropriate, however, that they receive input from those with a good technical and practical knowledge of, and
experience in, the activities involved. The use, understanding and acceptance of ITPs by inspectors and other
personnel will generally be contractor if they are involved in their preparation. The Contractor is responsible for
ensuring that all the required Inspection and Test Plans are prepared, including those covering work or processes to
be carried out by its subcontractors. While it is preferable sub contractors prepare the ITPs for their own work, in the
final analysis some may require the contractors involvement. A senior representative of the contractor would be made
responsible for approving Inspection and Test Plans, and any subsequent amendments, prior to their submission or
submission of compliance/conformity certification to the customer. The contract conditions would define the
submissions to the customer and any responses required.

Overview
The following steps are involved in documenting Inspection and Test Plans for a construction contract: -

Step 1 Read the contract documents (including the technical specifications) and prepare a list of any discrepancies,
ambiguities, missing information and standards of materials and/or workmanship that it is considered are
inappropriate.

Step 2 Contact the customer and resolve the issues listed as a result of Step 1.

Step 3 Examine the scope of work and divide it into separate areas requiring an Inspection and Test Plan (where not
already prescribed in the contract documents). As a general guide it is normally most convenient to document a
separate Inspection and Test Plan for each trade or work area/section.

Step 4 Note the Hold and Witness Points required by the customer (including as listed in the contract documents).

Step 5 Review the contract documents again and note the requirements that have the most impact on the quality of
the finished work. For each ask the question "What will be the consequences if it is not made sure this is right?" Be
certain to include any references to tests, submitting information to the customer, obtaining approvals and Hold and
Witness Points.

Step 6 Determine from Step 5 which items or aspects of each inspection will need to be recorded on checklists and
prepare these.
Step 7 Discuss the checklists with those directly involved with the work and obtain their input. This input should
particularly be directed at identifying those issues that have caused problems (and involved extra costs) in the past,
and therefore warrant checking at the earliest opportunity to avoid unnecessary and costly rectification.

Step 8 Prepare each Inspection and Test Plan to reflect the requirements of the contract documents. Reference the
ITP in the Quality Management Plan and cross-reference to the other related ITPs.

Step 9 Issue each Inspection and Test Plan and/or associated certification to the customer for consideration within a
reasonable period prior to commencing the work described in the Plan and adjust them to suit any comment received
(or act as otherwise required in the contract documents).

Step 10 Decide how best to divide the whole of the work into work areas for control purposes and indicate these
locations either on a schedule (with reference to grids and levels) or by marking up drawings.

Step 11 Prepare and issue checklists for each work area and identify them according to location.

Step 12 Train those directly involved with each of the ITP in their use. Formalise a procedure for the notification of
Witness and Hold Points to the appropriate person(s).

Step 13 Carry out inspections and tests in accordance with the Inspection and Test Plans, provide notices to the
customer and/or regulatory authorities for Hold or Witness Points, as designated or applicable, and record the results
on checklists.

Inspection And Test Plan Supporting Information


Record the following contract particulars on each of the Inspection and Test Plans: - Quality Management Systems
Guidelines

 Contract Name
 Contract Number
 Description of process/activities for that particular Inspection and Test Plan.

Inspection and Test Plans


General

Description of operation or stage of work requiring inspection or test Because 100% inspection and testing in most
cases is neither practical nor desirable, it is necessary to adopt a testing frequency and sampling process which
provides a representative indication of the work to suit the risks involved.

Inspections and tests are often best done after a number of separate activities, but prior to a major one that will cover
up previous work. Contractors and subcontractors would carry out preliminary tests to assist in obtaining an early
indication of conformity.

Inspections and tests vary to suit the risks and work involved this is completed by referring too prevous lessens
learned files and experaince of the technical personnel that are completing the ITP. Remember, the ITP provides
information to the site construction personnel as to what the customer has said what they want, (In the contract of
Project Specification)

The "what to test", "how to test" and "when to test" is governed by: -

 What the work is and how complex it is


 Accessibility for inspections and sampling
 Consequences of failure, including as follows:
 Cost of remedial work
 Effect on construction program
 Accessibility for rectification
 Disruption to use of building or structure
 Consequential damage to other elements
 Threat to safety of workers and public
 Availability of resources.

The type, timing and frequency (the what, when and how often) of inspections and tests are best determined in
conjunction with the consideration of the characteristics to be verified. Characteristics of inspection/test/approval The
characteristics of a work item can be defined as "a distinguishable property of an item, material or process".
Examples of characteristics are colour, texture, size, strength, flatness, alignment, capacity and the like.

The characteristics to be verified will frequently determine the stage at which the inspection or test must take place if
the potential for subsequent nonconformities is to be avoided. This further work might also cover up or deny access
for the purposes of verifying certain characteristics. Some characteristics can only be considered after one particular
operation and before another, such as the inspection of steel reinforcement after installation but prior to the pouring of
concrete.

Stage/frequency
The inspection/test stage/frequency will often be determined by the requirements of the contract documents or by the
type of inspection and/or test and the characteristics under consideration, as outlined above. In the latter case
however, there is the potential for a considerable range in what constitutes the most appropriate frequency and
sampling process. It is suggested that a representative sampling of the work to suit the risks involved be used as a
guide initially. Thereafter, frequencies would be increased and processes reviewed for'problem' work activities and
decreased where consistent conformity was evidenced.

QC Inspection Check Sheets


Records are essential to quality management because they provide the documented evidence necessary to verify
that a product/service is in accordance with the contract requirements. The records would be in various forms, and
would include the checklists, test certificates, certificates of compliance/conformity, survey data, written approvals
and the like. Inspection and Test Plans would help define the records required and will comply with Project payment
milestones and as-built turnover documentation.Project Specifications Codes and Standards

The standards against which conformity is measured can take various forms. The most common source is usually the
contract technical specification. Other standards would often be referenced in this document, and may include any of
the following: -

 Contract documents/specification generally


 Contract drawings
 Approved workshop drawings and/or calculations
 Approved technical details/procedures
 Approved samples and/or prototypes
 Regulatory requirements
 Australian Standards
 International Standards
 Standard specifications
 Manufacturers' recommendations.
Acceptance criteria
Acceptance criteria would normally be defined in the contract documents (either directly or by reference to other
standards such Inernational Codes and Standards). Where this is not the case it would be necessary to identify them
and possibly to agree them with the customer. It is preferable to establish acceptance criteria with the customer
(where they are not specified or clear) to agree the yardsticks (such as test panels/sections or previous work) against
which a product/service is to be declared conforming or nonconforming.Inspection Test procedures

For many inspections/tests, the methods employed will be specified or self evident and determined by the
characteristics being examined. In other cases, however, the precise manner in which the inspection/test is carried
out would need to be identified and described. A clearly described test procedure will usually be necessary to help
achieve consistent and reliable results. A typical test procedure using statistical techniques might, for example, cover:
-

 reference to work areas/lots or batches


 frequency of sampling
 Quality Management Systems Guidelines 5
 method of taking samples
 method of conducting a test (including conditions)
 qualifications of test personnel and equipment calibration/condition/specification
 method of documenting results.

In some cases it may be possible to satisfy the requirements simply by referencing the requirements of the Code &
Standard.

Hold and Witness Points


It is the contractors and subcontractors responsibility to identify the Hold and Witness Points (with the people
responsible for the inspection/test/endorsement and other requirements) that are required for its contractors and
subcontractors employees doing the work. The contractor would do this to the extent that is necessary to be confident
that the work is being carried out to the standards required. The customer usually retains the option to inspect the
work at any stage and may identify Hold and Witness Points requiring the customer's attendance. When preparing an
ITP, the word "Surveillance" would be shown against all selected inspection or test points that are not otherwise
covered by Hold or Witness Points.

QC Inspection Checklists
As noted in with some work, the logical stage to carry out an inspection or test is often after a number of separate
activities, but prior to a major one that will cover up previous work. It is often useful to complete checklists at such
stages and with each inspection and test where they will, in effect, summarise the procedures that have, and should
have, taken place up to the particular point in the work process. QC Inspection Checklists are useful reminders to the
person doing the work of all the matters that are to be addressed. They are used to confirm all the matters have been
attended to. They are also reminders to the person inspecting the work of all the matters that should be checked. A
QC Inspection Checklist also gives an opportunity to record any special or unusual conditions under the contract, and
draw these to the attention of the people doing the work. For example, special precautions for protecting existing
work, notifications to the public, and other matters that might not normally be required for the particular trade or
activity, may be included.

The fact that QC Inspection Checklists exist, and that their use and content have been verified, would give a
customer confidence that the person doing the work is aware of all the important steps, attributes and matters to be
addressed, and the standards that should be complied with, and that conformity is being verified.
Inspection and Test Plan QC Inspection Checklist
The following typical checklist for Inspection and Test Plans has been designed to assist customers in assessing the
Contractors ITPs. It may also assist service providers in developing their ITPs, as a guide to the content of ITPs. The
customer may specify other items that would be addressed in the contactors ITPs to support the control of risks.

Vendor Inspection

Quality Procurement Planning


In order for the construction planning scheduling not to be delayed it is essential for Project
suppliers to be:
Assessed
Approved
A procurement Quality Planning Schedule is completed itemizing the project vendor
inspections that need to be completed for the scope of the project.

Customers Approved Suppliers List


If the Project proposed suppler is not already on the customers approved list then the suppler
Quality Management system must be assessed to see if they can provide products on time,
within budget and meeting the project quality requirements.

Customers Generic Product Inspection Matrix


To prevent nonconforming equipment and materials being installed on the Project the
acceptance inspection activates are required to be itemized to ensure all precautions are
taken. Inspections can be at the place of manufacture or at material receipt.

Most major construction companies have Product Inspection Matrixes that define what the
minimum quality requirements the suppler must provide to the customer. These are normally
standard formats that are issued for every purchase product that the company purchases, (as
below).
In order to prevent nonconforming equipment and materials being installed on site
the acceptance inspection activities are required to be itemized and formalized to
ensure all possible precautions are taken. Inspections can be undertaken at the place
of manufacture or upon material receipt.

Project Supplier Evaluation (assessment)


Prospective Project Suppliers are assessed by audit to ascertain if they are capable to provide
quality products. A quality questionnaire is sent to the suppler, on he basis of this the
customers rating system is applied.

An acceptable audit and rating system evaluation will decide if the customer wishes to place a
Purchase Order with the nominated supplier. Quality Control Requirements,
Customers Purchase Orders

The customers Purchase Orders must provide the supplier with the correct information to
provide the product the customer specified. To do this the Customer must assure himself
purchased product is inspected during its manufacture utilizing a Project Specific Supplier
Inspection and Test Plan.

The customer must therefore have a Quality Management System that provides the supplier
with all the relevant information to complete his contract on time and within schedule. Once the
suppler is accepted the following requirements are stated in the Purchase Order:

 The seller will operate a quality management system that meet the requirements of ISO 9000
during the contracted scope of the work.

 The buyer reserves the right to evaluate and audit the implementation of the quality system.

 The buyer reserves the right to request the supplier to provide formal records of certificates
for any activity associated with the sellers work.

 ALL Documentation shall be in the original source state or true copy of the original. Copies
shall be of reproducible quality or they shall be considered unacceptable. Data transposition
form the original is not acceptable.

 All documentation shall uniquely identify all sheets with:

Quality Plan Requirements


All bidders must submit with their bid, a Quality Plan specifically developed to the requirements
of the request for quotation.

This plan will integrate the practices and procedures contained in the Seller's Quality Control
Manual/System with the Request for Quotation requirements. The Detailed Quality Plan
specific for a Purchase Order will include, but not be limited to the following:

 The suppler will attend a quality kick off meeting with the purchaser prior to the
commencement of the work

 Administrative data such as suppliers name, location, and shop order number, tag number,
item description, etc.

 An effective date and/or revision number.

 A complete listing of Quality Control activities to be performed including, but not limited to,
types of inspection, factory tests, control of welding processes, nondestructive examination,
and seller witness and hold points.

 Provisions for Buyer, Owner, and/or their agents witness and hold points.

 Listing of other major fabricated or subcontracted services.

 The quality attributes if not identified in the suppliers Quality Plan, must be addressed in the

Inspection Assignment Packages are retained for the project As-built Files.

Piping Hydrostatic Testing (overview)


Test Preparation

NEW - Click here to purchase our new piping


hydrostatic test pack!

1. Pressure source and test gauge should be upstream of check valve. If


pressure source is downstream, check valve should have flapper removed
or jacked?up. (Pressure must be released downstream of check valve after
test completion.)

2. Ensure that test blinds installed are the Correct thickness. Ensure that
all items such as control valves, relief valves, rupture disks, orifice plates,
diaphragm instruments, expansion joints, etc., which could be damaged
during pressure test have been removed or isolated, as indicated on the
pressure test flow diagram. Ensure that equipment, such as filters, which
have internals that may be damaged during pressure.

3. Ensure that all items such as control valves, relief valves, rupture disks,
orifice plates, diaphragm instruments, expansion joints, etc., which could be
damaged during pressure test have been removed or isolated, as indicated
on the pressure test flow diagram.

4. Ensure that equipment, such as filters, which have internals that may be
damaged during the pressure test are either blocked from test or that
internals have been removed.

5. Check all temporary supports that have been called for on the pressure
test flow diagrams, piping arrangement drawings or spool drawing to ensure
that they have been properly installed.

6. Ensure that equipment, such as compressors, which must not be


included in the field tests have been properly blocked off with the casing
drain open.

7. Check open and closed position of all valves.

8. Check for proper installation of vents and drains.

9. Verify chloride content of test water when testing stainless steels.

Testing:

1. The pressure test gauge shall normally be located at grade near the test
pump.

2. Pressure test gauges shall be calibrated to ensure accurate readings.


Gauges should be tagged with the date they were last calibrated.

3. Care must be exercised not to exceed pressure test specified on the


pressure test data.

4. When conducting a pneumatic test, it is essential that the contract


specification for pneumatic testing be adhered to in order to avoid creating a
safety hazard.

5. Pneumatic test systems must include double block valves with a bleeder
valve between them to safely isolate the pressure source (by closing block
valves and opening bleeder to atmosphere) when incremental and final test
pressures are attained.

Test Completion:

1. Care shall be exercised in controlling the rate of draining from vessels in


respect to inflow of air through the vent to assure that a vacuum is not
applied.

2. CAUTION: Prior to commencing drainage, ensure that all vents are


open with plugs and blind flanges removed.

3. After drainage, remove all temporary blinds and blanks, temporary


support, and temporary testing connections.

4. Reinstall all items that were removed for test. Ensure that line
Specification gaskets and bolts are being used when reinstalling these
items.

5. Remove all shipping bars from expansion joints.

6. Remove Stops from spring hangers and check cold settings.

Why this subject


During hydrotesting and pressure testing operations incidents sometimes happen. This Safety
Feedback Notice provides some typical examples which can be used an an aid in highlighting
the hazards and dangers involved are what are often seen as routine operations.

Details of 5 incidents.

1. Hydro-test of a new vertical vessel.

click here

The root cause of the incident is not fully known but there was some thought that hydrotesting
with "very cold" water was a contributing factor.

Fortunately no injuries occured.

2. Filling of a vertical tank.

click here

The filling of the tank was made with water from a fire hydrant.

The top the tank blew off becuase the relief valve could not displace the air fast enough for the
volume of water that was being pumped in.

Fortunately no injury happened, but an operator was on top of the tank a few seconds before.

3. Emptying of a vertical tank.

click here

The collapse of this tank happened while it was being emptied. A plastic sheet protecting the
roof was trapped in the vent; hence a vacuum was caused.

There was no injury. It should be noted that this type of incident is not that unusual.

4. Sphere collapse.
click here

The accident happened during the filling of a bar 2000 m LPG sphere. Its legs collapsed. One
person was killed and one seriously injured.

At the time of the accident, the sphere was approximately 80% full of fresh water.

The vessel’s last hydro-test was 10 years ago and the last inspection of its legs was 5 years
ago.

Severe corrosion of the legs under the concrete fire protection was the main cause. The
corrosion occurred due to water ingress between the concrete and the steel legs.

The water protective cap located over the concrete was not sufficient to keep water out. After
the accident, it was verified that the steel legs had thickness reductions of up to 8mm, with
piting holes of up to 10cm .

After analysis and tests, it has been found that the following factors caused the collapse:

 Water caps over the fire-proofing concrete were of poor design thereby letting water penetrate
between the steel beams and the concrete.
 Vertical cracks in the concrete let water in.
 Repairs had been done to the concrete, but with poor workmanship.
 The concrete had not adhered to the old concrete, again letting water in.
 The deluge system had been tested with salt water, increasing the possibility of corrosion.

5. Emptying of a gear box.

click here

To speeed up the removal of 250l of oil from a gear-box, the guage hole was plugged and the
breather was connected to the 6 bar air network.

The gear box exploded, and threw missiles around seriously damaging surrounding piping and
structure. Fortunately there was no injury.

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS

For each case the specific recommendation are generally obvious:

1st incident : Water tempearture is critical when hydro testing. TFE specification (GS PVV 211)
states taht both metal and water temperature during pressure testing shall be maintained at
least at 16ºC or at least 10ºC above the impact test temperature of the metal.

2nd and 3rd incidents : Venting systems shall be inspected and checked before filling and
emptying operations.

4th incident : Is a maintenance problem? Before testing an old vessel, a complete inspection
must be performed visually and with NDT. This inspection shall include the vessel, nozzles,
appurtenances, and supporting structures.

5th incident : obviously a gear-box is not pressure vessel, but productivity may lead to a risky
attitude.

Non-Destructive Testing Mechanical (overview)

The successful application of mechanical nondestructive testing inspection methods requires that

1 The test system and procedure be suited to both inspection objectives and types of flaws.
2 The operator has sufficient training, experience and is qualified.
3 The standard for acceptance is defined.

- equipment name/identification number


- holder of equipment for recall purpose
- frequency, criteria of acceptance, range of tolerance date of calibration
- work instruction or procedure for calibration, to be in-house or external calibrated recall date.

Ensure inspection, measuring, and test equipment is calibrated against


Certified/Reference Equipment having a known valid relationship to
Internationally or Nationality Recognized Standards.

Ensure Inspection, Measuring, and Test Equipment that is out of calibration is


withdrawn from use.

There are only nine types of inspection, and test measurement conducted to
verify the performance of installations at commissioning or service.These are:
- dead weight tester
- temperature measurement
- linear measurement
- current rating of equipment
- the resistance of a current carrying loop
- the insulation resistance of a current carrying loop
- electrical voltage measurement
- water flow rates for hydrant systems
- hydraulic pressure for pipe installation
The calibration of any instrument will be considered invalid if any of the following situations occur.

- expiry any period as shown on the label


- excessive electrical overload
- tampering
- excessive mechanical shock

If an equipment is found to be out of calibration, the validity, and critically of previous recorded results must
be assessed by the calibration controller, or his delegate. This assessment and any resulting actions must
be documented.

Welding Defects

Cold Lap
Cold Lap is a condition where the weld filler metal does
not properly with the base metal or the previous weld
pass material (interpass cold lap). The arc does not melt
the base metal sufficiently and causes the slightly molten
puddle to flow into the base material without bonding

Porosity
Porosity is the result of "gas entrapment" in the
solidifying metal. Porosity can take many shapes on a
radiograph but often appears as dark round or irregular
spots or specks appearing singularly, in clusters, or in
rows. Sometimes, porosity is elongated and may appear
to have a tail. This is the result of gas attempting to
escape while the metal is still in a liquid state and is
called "wormhole porosity" All porosity is a void in the
material and it will have a higher radiographic density
than the surrounding area.

Cluster Porosity
Cluster Porosity is caused when flux coated electrodes
are contaminated with moisture. The moisture turns into
gas when heated and becomes trapped in the weld
during the welding process. Cluster porosity appears just
like regular porosity in the radiograph but he indications
will be grouped close together.

Slag inclusion
Slag inclusions are non metallic solid material
entrapped in weld metal or between weld and base
metal. In a radiograph, dark, jagged asymmetrical shapes
within the weld or along the weld joints areas are
indicative of slag inclusions.

Incomplete Penetration (IP) or lack of penetration (LOP)


Incomplete Penetration (IP) or lack of penetration
(LOP) occurs when the weld metal fails to penetrate the
joint. It is one of the most objectionable weld
discontinuities. Lack of penetration allows a natural
stress riser from which a crack may propagate. The
appearance on a radiograph is a dark area with well
defined, straight edges that follows the land or root face
down the center of the weldment.

Incomplete fusion
Incomplete fusion is a condition where the weld filler
metal does not properly fuse with the base metal.
Appearance on radiograph is usually appears as a dark
line or lines oriented in the direction of the weld seam
along the weld preparation or joining area.

Internal Concavity or Suck Back


Internal concavity or suck back is a condition where
the weld metal has contracted as it cools and has been
drawn up into the root of the weld. On a radiograph it
looks similar to a lack of penetration but the line has
irregular edges and it is often quite wide in the center of
the weld image.

Internal or Root Undercut


Internal or Root Undercut is an erosion of the base
metal next to the root of the weld. In the radiographic
image it appears as a dark irregular line offset from the
centerline of ht weldment. Undercutting is not as straight
edged as LOP because it does not follow a ground edge.

External or Crown Undercut


External or Crown Undercut is an erosion of the base
metal next to the crown on the weld. In the radiograph, it
appears as a dark irregular line along the outside edge of
the weld area.

Offset or Mismatch
Offset or Mismatch are terms associated with a
condition where two pieces being welded together are
not properly aligned. The radiographic image shows a
noticeable difference in density between the two pieces.
The difference in density is caused by the difference in
material thickness. The dark, straight line is caused by
the failure of the weld metal to fuse with the land area.

Inadequate Weld Reinforcement


Inadequate Weld Reinforcement is an area of a weld
where the thickness of weld metal deposited is less than
the thickness of the base metal. It is very easy to
determine by radiograph if the weld has inadequate
reinforcement, because the image density in the area of
suspected inadequacy will be higher (darker) than the
image density of the surrounding base material.

Excess Weld Reinforcement


Excess Weld Reinforcement is an area of a weld that
has a weld metal added in excess of that specified by
engineering drawings and codes. The appearance on a
radiograph is a localized, lighter area in the weld. A visual
inspection will easily determine if the weld reinforcement
is in excess of that specified by the engineering
requirements.

Cracks
Cracks can be detected in a radiograph only when they
are propagating in a direction that produces a change in
thickness that is parallel to the x-ray beam. Cracks can
appear as jagged and often very faint irregular lines.
Cracks can sometimes appear as "tails" on inclusions or
porosity.

Discontinuities in TIG Welds


Tungsten Inclusion
Tungsten inclusion: Tungsten is a brittle and inherently
dense material used in the electrode in tungsten inert gas
welding. If improper welding procedures are used,
tungsten may be entrapped in the weld. Radio
graphically, tungsten is more dense than aluminum or
steel, therefore it shows up as a lighter area with a
distinct outline on the radiograph

Oxide inclusions
Oxide Inclusions are usually visible on the surface of
material being welded (especially aluminum). Oxide
inclusions are less dense than the surrounding material,
and, therefore appear as dark irregularly shaped
discontinuities in the radiograph

Discontinuities in Gas Metal Arc Welds (GMAW)


Whiskers are short lengths of weld electrode wire, visible on the top or bottom su6rface of the weld or contained
within the weld. On a radiograph they appear as light, "wire like" indications.

Burn Through
Burn Through results when too much heat causes
excessive weld metal to penetrate the weld zone. Often
lumps of metal sag through the weld, creating a thick
globular condition on the back of the weld. These globs
of metal are referred to as icicles. On the radiograph,
burn through appears as dark sports, which are often
surrounded by light globular areas (icicles).

Control of Hydrogen Removal in 11/4 Cr. ½ Mo low alloy steel for the prevention
of weld cracking
The above specification was reviewed and a comment made advising a 60 minute minimum soak at 300-400C on
completion or partial completion of weldments in Cr. Mo. Material. The Specification tabulated 15minutes for
materials 10inch SCH 80 and below (15mm and below) and 30 minutes for 12 inch SCH 80 and above (above15mm
to 40 mm.).
The following notes are intended to give some additional information and should be taken into account.

The presence of hydrogen depends on a number of factors as follows:

1. Joint cleanliness (removal of surface contaminants, scale, rust oil,grease,paint etc)


2. Presence of moisture in the fluxes used in welding (controlled by baking and the use of low hydrogen consumables,
typically 5ml hydrogen/100 gms weld metal maximum. Control and issue of electrodes is also crucial after baking.
3. Preheat controls (adequate in Chiyoda's specification)
4. Microstructure susceptibility (high in this alloy)
5. Stress levels (greater in thicker joints).
6. Temperature limits on cooling. (the greatest risk occurs when near ambient temperatures are reached and cracking
can occur several hours or sometimes up to three days after welding is completed.

Most Fabricators/Contractors are aware of these causes and take measures to reduce the risk where possible. The
common additional technique to remove/reduce hydrogen levels is by introducing the post weld heating cycle.
Cracking is unlikely to occur when adequate soak times above 250C are used immediately on completion or partial
completion of welds. Removal rates are dependant on soak time and temperature. The table overleaf gives some
details for the amount of hydrogen removal based on different soak times and temperatures for the SMAW process
using low hydrogen electrodes, stored, baked, issued to the welder and controlled in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Material Soak Temperature % Original


Thickness (Centigrade) Soak Time Hydrogen Remaining
(Minutes)

7mm 300 60 0

7mm 300 15 20

15mm 300 60 20

15mm 300 15 70

15mm 400 15 65

30mm 300 60 75

40mm 300 30 90

40mm 400 30 85

These figures were calculated by the Welding Institute who emphasised that although the technique for calculation is
considered conservative they have been shown to produce satisfactory results over a two year period. They take
account of the potential hydrogen which is a laboratory measurement of the moisture or hydrogen of any consumable
and a diffusivity (of hydrogen) factor for Cr/Mo material of 4 x 10-5 cms/sec.

Assuming low hydrogen electrodes are used and taking account of the potential hydrogen factor, the average
deposited weld metal hydrogen would be 5ml hydrogen/100gms weld metal. Hydrogen cracking has been
encountered in forgings as low as 2-5 ml hydrogen /100 gms weld metal. Based on all information above i.e
Chiyoda's experience and the Welding Institute (conservative) recommendations our advice is as follows:
 For material up to 15mm thick soak at 350C minimum for 15 minutes minimum
 For material over 15mm to 40 mm soak at 350C min for 45 minutes minimum
 The other precautionary measures listed in 1, to 6 must also be followed where applicable.
 We believe these recommendations are a responsible alternative to adequately reduce the hydrogen levels to
acceptable levels and offer a practice which is not far removed from current practice.

retain responsibility for the quality assurance program. The authority and
duties of persons and organizations performing activities affecting the
safety-related functions of structures, systems, and components shall be
clearly established and delineated in writing. These activities include both
the performing functions of attaining quality objectives and the quality
assurance functions. The quality assurance functions are those of (1)
assuring that an appropriate quality assurance program is established and
effectively executed; and (2) verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and
inspecting, that activities affecting the safety-related functions have been
correctly performed. The persons and organizations performing quality
assurance functions shall have sufficient authority and organizational
freedom to identify quality problems; to initiate, recommend, or provide
solutions; and to verify implementation of solutions. There persons and
organizations performing quality assurance functions shall report to a
management level so that the required authority and organizational
freedom, including sufficient independence from cost and schedule when
opposed to safety considerations, are provided. Because of the many
variables involved, such as the number of personnel, the type of activity
being performed, and the location or locations where activities are
performed, the organizational structure for executing the quality assurance
program may take various forms, provided that the persons and
organizations assigned the quality assurance functions have the required
authority and organizational freedom. Irrespective of the organizational
structure, the individual(s) assigned the responsibility for assuring effective
execution of any portion of the quality assurance program at any location
where activities subject to this appendix are being performed, shall have
direct access to the levels of management necessary to perform this
function.

adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the
use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance
of a suitable testing program. The verifying or checking process shall be
performed by individuals or groups other than those who performed the
original design, but who may be from the same organization. Where a test
program is used to verify the adequacy of a specific design feature in lieu
of other verifying or checking processes, it shall include suitable
qualifications testing of a prototype unit under the most adverse design
conditions. Design control measures shall be applied to items such as the
following: reactor physics, stress, thermal, hydraulic, and accident
analyses; compatibility of materials; accessibility for inservice inspection,
maintenance, and repair; and delineation of acceptance criteria for
inspections and tests.

Design changes, including field changes, shall be subject to design control


measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and be
approved by the organization that performed the original design unless the
applicant designates another responsible organization.

and executed by or for the organization performing the activity to verify
conformance with the documented instructions, procedures, and drawings
for accomplishing the activity. Such inspection shall be performed by
individuals other than those who performed the activity being inspected.
Examinations, measurements, or tests of material or products processed
shall be performed for each work operation where necessary to assure
quality. If inspection of processed material or products is impossible or
disadvantageous, indirect control by monitoring processing methods,
equipment, and personnel shall be provided. Both inspection and process
monitoring shall be provided when control is inadequate without both. If
mandatory inspection hold points, which require witnessing or inspecting
by the applicant's designated representative and beyond which work shall
not proceed without the consent of its designated representative are
required, the specific hold points shall be indicated in appropriate
documents.

 XI. Test Control

A test program shall be established to assure that all testing required to


demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform
satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with
written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and
acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. The test
program shall include, as appropriate, proof tests prior to installation,
preoperational tests, and operational tests during nuclear power plant or
fuel reprocessing plant operation, of structures, systems, and
components. Test procedures shall include provisions for assuring that all

out to verify compliance with all aspects of the quality assurance program
and to determine the effectiveness of the program. The audits shall be
performed in accordance with the written procedures or check lists by
appropriately trained personnel not having direct responsibilities in the
areas being audited. Audit results shall be documented and reviewed by
management having responsibility in the area audited. Followup action,
including reaudit of deficient areas, shall be taken where indicated.

Review of Bid Tenders


Customers now require to know how the supplier or contractor plans to
meet the customers Technical Specifications. The customer normally
requires objective evidence that the Suppliers can verify quality. This is
completed by forwarding to the customer sample exhibits from the
Bid Tenders
suppliers Quality Management System and/or Quality presentation by the
supplier or contractor. Suppliers or Contractors are not only assessed on
their Bid price but on their ability to define and meet the customers
Quality objectives within a limited time period.

The supplier or contractor submits to


the customer their Company Quality
Policy Manual Prior to the tender bid
meeting. The meeting outlines the full
