S.No.	Checkpoint	IS Requirement	Status
A. TEST SETUP
A1	Test apparatus set up; load cell calibrated; deflection gauges zeroed Acceptance: Equipment working; Load cell cert valid; Baseline recorded	Cl.1 - Equipment	OK NC NA HOLD
A2	Load applied in increments: 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% design load Acceptance: Gradual increment; Hold time 2-3 min each; Data logged	Cl.2 - Loading	OK NC NA HOLD
A3	Deflection measured at mid-span and supports Acceptance: Readings recorded at each load level; Linearity checked	Cl.3 - Measurement	OK NC NA HOLD
B. TEST RESULTS
B1	Final deflection ≤ L/360 at design load; no permanent set > 5% Acceptance: Deflection ratio acceptable; Recovery elastic; No cracking	Cl.4 - Acceptance	OK NC NA HOLD
B2	No visible damage, cracks, or member failure observed Acceptance: Member condition post-test satisfactory; Structure intact	Cl.5 - Integrity	OK NC NA HOLD
