ACTIVITIES. Inspection & Test Planning Matrix
COL_01S.No
Acceptance: Sequential, no gaps or duplicates
Sequential numbering of activities in ITP
COL_02Activity / Work Stage
Acceptance: Specific activity name, e.g., 'Concrete Pouring — Foundation Slab', 'Steel Erection — Beam Installation', 'Plumbing Installation — Roughing'
Clear identification of construction activity
COL_03IS Code Reference
Acceptance: e.g., 'IS 456:2000 Clause 6.3', 'IS 875:1987 Part 3', 'IS 3786:1983', Code and clause number both specified
Link activity to applicable IS standard / code / clause
COL_04Inspection / Test Description
Acceptance: e.g., 'Visual inspection of surface finish (flatness)', 'Dimensional check — thickness tolerance ±5mm', 'Concrete compression test @ 28 days', 'Hydrostatic pressure test @ 1.5 × working pressure'
Specific inspection or test to be performed
COL_05Acceptance Criteria
Acceptance: e.g., 'Surface level ≤ 3mm variation in 3m straightedge', 'Compressive strength ≥ 30 MPa (3 cube average)', 'Slump 100±25mm', 'No visible cracks', 'Joint width = 20±2mm'
Quantified pass/fail criteria for each inspection/test
COL_06Inspection Level (H/W/R)
Acceptance: H (Hold Point) = Work must STOP, awaits signature. W (Witness Point) = Consultant/Client invited, work CAN proceed. R (Review) = Document review only, no site witness needed
Classification of inspection point approval requirement
COL_07Frequency / Quantity
Acceptance: e.g., '100% visual', 'Every 50m³ concrete', 'Daily', 'Per 10 units produced', '3 cubes per batch'
How often or how many inspections per activity
COL_08Responsibility (Contractor / Consultant / Client)
Acceptance: Contractor = Contractor's own QC team. Consultant = Independent consultant's QC engineer. Client = Client representative. Can be combined, e.g., 'Contractor & Consultant'
Who performs the inspection / test
COL_09Reference Document
Acceptance: e.g., 'IS 1199:1959 (Concrete compression test)', 'IS 1123:1959 (Slump test)', 'Method Statement MS-04-Concrete', 'Test Report TR-025', Document reference number and title
Link to applicable test method, procedure, or standard document

Any additional notes or conditions for this inspection
LEGEND. ITP Approval Level Legend
LEGEND_HH = HOLD POINT
Acceptance: Work STOPS. Inspection/test completed and documented. Must be signed off by authorized party (Consultant/Client QC engineer). Non-Conformance stops work immediately. Corrective action required. Work can ONLY proceed after hold point is released (signed off).
Mandatory approval before work proceeds
LEGEND_WW = WITNESS POINT
Acceptance: Consultant / Client invited to witness inspection/test. Contractor's QC conducts test. Work CAN proceed if results are OK, even if witness is not present. Witness is optional but logged. Non-Conformance becomes Hold Point.
Invited observation point (work can proceed if inspection OK)
LEGEND_RR = REVIEW POINT
Acceptance: Inspection/test completed and documented. No site witness required. Consultant/Client reviews document (test report, inspection record). Review can happen later. Work proceeds as per schedule. Used for routine inspections and lab test reports.
Document review only, no site presence required
