Quality assurance is process-focused and preventive: it sets up the systems, procedures and plans so that work is done right the first time. Quality control is product-focused and detective: it inspects and tests the actual work and materials to find defects. QA prevents problems, QC finds them.
An ITP lists all the inspections and tests required for an activity, in sequence, with the acceptance criteria, the reference standards and specifications, the records required and who is responsible. It also shows inspection points like hold, witness, review and surveillance for the contractor, consultant and client.
A hold point is a stage where work must stop and cannot continue until the inspection is done and approved by the required party, like the consultant. A witness point is a stage where the party must be notified and may attend, but if they do not come after proper notice, work can continue.
An NCR is a formal document raised when work, material or a process does not meet the specification, drawing or standard. It describes the non-conformance with evidence, the proposed disposition such as repair, rework, accept as is or reject, the root cause, and the corrective and preventive action. It is closed after verification.
Review drawings, specifications and the ITP, inspect materials on arrival, inspect work at each stage, witness tests, check that calibrated equipment is used, record inspections, raise NCRs for defects and follow up corrective actions, coordinate inspections with the consultant, and keep quality records ready for handover.
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. It helps an organisation consistently deliver products and services that meet customer and legal requirements, and improve continually. It is based on principles like customer focus, leadership, process approach, risk-based thinking and continual improvement, and organisations can be certified to it.
