S.No.CheckpointIS RequirementStatus
A. FRAME MATERIAL AND SPECIFICATION
A1Frame material type verified against design (steel, aluminum, UPVC, timber); manufacturing certificate available
Acceptance: Material test certificates for steel (IS 1730, IS 1392); mill certificates for aluminum; quality assurance marks present
Cl. 4.1 — Material specification
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
A2Frame dimensions and profile verified against design drawings (width, height, depth, section profile)
Acceptance: Measured dimensions compared with design; tolerance ±2 mm for smaller dimensions, ±5 mm for larger; profile matches design section
Cl. 4.2 — Dimensional verification
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
A3Frame surface finish: painting, powder coating, or anodizing (as specified) in good condition; no rust, chipping, or damage
Acceptance: Paint/coating uniform; thickness per spec (typically 75-150 microns); no corrosion spots; touch-up areas visible but acceptable
Cl. 4.3 — Surface finish quality
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
B. FRAME POSITIONING AND ALIGNMENT
B1Frame positioned correctly in opening: plumb (vertical) within 3 mm per 3 m height; level (horizontal) within 2 mm per meter width
Acceptance: Spirit level or laser level used for verification; measurements recorded; deviations documented; acceptable if within tolerance
Cl. 5.1 — Plumb and level requirements
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
B2Frame squareness verified: diagonal measurements difference ≤3 mm for typical door opening (≤2400 mm diagonal)
Acceptance: Diagonal measurements taken and compared; difference within tolerance; frame not twisted
Cl. 5.2 — Squareness check
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
B3Frame centerline aligned with opening centerline (no offset/shift); centered for symmetrical opening
Acceptance: Offset measurement from opening edges: ≤5 mm difference from design centerline; frame sits symmetrically
Cl. 5.3 — Centerline alignment
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
C. FRAME FIXING AND SECURING
C1Frame anchored to structure with approved fasteners (welding, bolting, or mechanical anchors per design)
Acceptance: Fasteners spaced ≤500 mm vertically; ≥3 fasteners per jamb minimum; bolts/welds inspected; no loose fixings
Cl. 6.1 — Fixing method
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
C2Welded connections (if applicable) inspected: beads smooth and continuous; no cracks, undercuts, or porosity visible
Acceptance: Welds visually inspected; surface finish acceptable; filler material appropriate; no defects visible; weld thickness adequate
Cl. 6.2 — Weld quality
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
C3Frame-to-structure gaps filled with approved material (mortar, foam, or sealant); no voids or gaps > 5 mm
Acceptance: Gaps filled continuously; material applied to ≥50% depth minimum; final finish neat; no water ingress risk
Cl. 6.3 — Gap filling
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
C4Frame movement test: applied force perpendicular to frame face; movement < 2 mm under hand pressure
Acceptance: Frame fixed rigidly; no perceptible movement under moderate push; anchoring adequate for door/window weight and operational loads
Cl. 6.4 — Fixing security
OK
NC
