What is ITP (inspection and test plan)?

    An inspection and test plan lists the inspections and tests for a piece of work, the acceptance criteria, who does each check and where hold and witness points sit.

    Also written as ITP

    Each ITP line normally names the activity, the requirement it is checked against, the method and frequency, the record to be kept, and who must inspect, witness or approve.

    A completed ITP with its records is the evidence that the work meets its requirements at handover.
