| S.No. | Checkpoint | IS Requirement | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDENT. NCR Identification | |||
| IDENT_01 | Location / Zone where non-conformance was detected Acceptance: Specific location name (e.g., 'Block A, Plot 5, Foundation Slab'), Coordinates or Grid Reference if available, Zone/Area name, Building/Structure reference | Clear identification of location for containment and visibility | |
| IDENT_02 | Work Activity / Element where non-conformance detected Acceptance: e.g., 'Concrete Pouring — Foundation Slab', 'Steel Erection — Column 45B', 'Brick Masonry — Wall 3rd Floor', 'Plumbing Installation — STP Pipework' | Identify the specific construction activity | |
| IDENT_03 | Responsible Contractor / Sub-contractor / Department Acceptance: Name of Contractor or Sub-contractor executing the work, Contact person name and mobile number | Identify party responsible for work | |
| NONCONF. Non-Conformance Details | |||
| NONCONF_01 | Description of Non-Conformance (What is wrong?) Acceptance: Specific description of defect, deviation, or non-compliance. For example: 'Concrete surface shows honeycombing over 0.5m² area', 'Rebar spacing found as 180mm instead of 150mm (design requirement)', 'Plaster finish has waves exceeding 5mm in 3m run', 'Weld bead irregular, undercut visible 2mm deep in 60mm length' | Clear, specific description of deviation | |
| NONCONF_02 | Applicable IS Code / Clause violated Acceptance: IS code number and clause (e.g., 'IS 456:2000, Clause 7.4 — Surface finish tolerance'), or approved drawing requirement, or specification document reference | Link non-conformance to specific IS code requirement | |
| NONCONF_03 | Category of Non-Conformance Acceptance: MINOR (isolated, no safety impact, easily repairable, minor delay). MAJOR (affects function/durability, may need rework, safety implication). CRITICAL (safety hazard, structural risk, threatens project) | Classify severity level | |
| NONCONF_04 | Drawings / Photos attached (if applicable) Acceptance: Photographs clearly showing the defect with scale/ruler visible, Relevant drawing marked with red circle showing affected area, Sketch of non-conformance if photos not available | Visual evidence of non-conformance | |
| NONCONF_05 | Extent / Quantity of affected work (m², m, units, %) Acceptance: Area: e.g., '2.5 m² of surface affected', Length: e.g., '15m of rebar placed incorrect', Number: e.g., '12 blocks out of 500', Percentage: e.g., '3% of total volume' | Quantify scope of non-conformance | |
| CAUSE. Root Cause Analysis | |||
| CAUSE_01 | Root Cause Analysis Method used Acceptance: 5-Why Analysis: Ask 'Why?' five times. Fishbone/Ishikawa Diagram: Map contributing factors (People, Process, Materials, Equipment, Environment). Pareto Analysis: Identify vital few causes. Fault Tree Analysis: Top-down approach. | Systematic approach to find underlying cause | |
| CAUSE_02 | Root Cause Description Acceptance: e.g., 'Shuttering removed 18 hours before 28-day cure completed due to schedule pressure', 'Rebar spacing measurement error — tape marked incorrectly', 'Concrete batch plant calibration not checked for 2 weeks', 'Welder not re-certified for 14 months', 'Specification not communicated to subcontractor', 'Faulty testing equipment (caliper had 2mm zero error)' | Identify underlying reason for non-conformance | |
| CAUSE_03 | Contributing Factors (if any) Acceptance: e.g., 'Lack of supervision', 'Inadequate training', 'Design ambiguity', 'Supplier delivered wrong material', 'Schedule pressure', 'Weather delay compensation', 'Fatigue of workers (double shift)' | Other factors that led to this non-conformance | |
