Inspection and Test Plan
SSPC Guide for Planning Coatings Inspection
Scope: Prior to the start of project work, the contractor prepares, for the owner’s approval, a work plan that covers all phases of the work and completely and accurately describes of all of the individual processes that make up each work phase. This plan converts the project specification requirements into a practical document for field use. The inspector must prepare an inspection plan to supplement the contractor’s work plan.
Schedule: The inspection plan should include a project schedule for all phases of the work to match the schedule of the contractor’s work plan, so that the inspector is ready in advance without causing any delays in work production. The inspection plan systematically lists the inspection hold points, test methods, and acceptance criteria for each procedure in each phase of the project work.
Format: There is no standard format for an inspection plan, since plans may vary significantly with different types of work to be done. A chart containing the following three columns is usually adequate for most projects:
- Inspection Check or Hold Points – Identification of inspection check points for each phase of work (e.g., surface preparation, coating application, curing).
- Inspection Method – Industry standards, instrumentation, and/or specific test methods or procedures required by specification.
- Acceptance Criteria – Project specification requirements that must be met.
Review and Approval: Coating projects often require project-specific inspection plans to be submitted to the owner for review and acceptance before the start of a project. If the contract does not require submission of an inspection and test plan, the inspector should still prepare one. An organized inspection plan, even for the smallest job, will help to assure a more efficient and comprehensive inspection with limited delays or items overlooked.
