Inspection point codes
- HHold point
- Hold point. A compulsory stop. The contractor gives notice and must not go past this point until the client's nominated person has checked the work or the records and released the hold, usually in writing. Hold points are used where the work will be covered up, closed or made irreversible, for example before backfilling, before boxing up a vessel or before re-pressurising.
- WWitness point
- Witness point. The contractor gives the client advance notice, within the notice period agreed in the contract or ITP, so the client can attend and watch the inspection or test. If the client does not attend by the agreed time, the work can go ahead and the contractor records the result.
- RReview point
- Review point. The client reviews documents or records, such as procedures, certificates and test reports, rather than the physical work. Work normally continues during the review unless the ITP says otherwise.
- SSurveillance
- Surveillance. The client may watch the work or audit the contractor's process at any time, without formal notice and without stopping the work, to confirm the ITP is being followed. No release is needed.
- IInspection or test
- Inspection or test. The contractor's own check, carried out and recorded by the contractor's competent person. The client does not need to attend but may audit the records.
