Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Fireproofing Inspection and ITP for Composite Steel Deck Floor Systems (Soffit of Trapezoidal Galvanized Deck)
AI-assisted inspection and test plan connected to a method statement, with PDF and Excel export.
More than a static template
Unlike a downloadable Word or PDF template, this ITP is an AI-assisted editable starting point directly connected to its method statement. Every inspection activity, hold point, and acceptance criterion is structured and ready to adapt to your project.
- AI-assisted customization — Tailor inspection activities and acceptance criteria to your specific project scope.
- Linked method statement — This ITP is connected to the corresponding method statement describing the work sequence.
- Multiple export formats — Download as a formatted PDF or editable Excel spreadsheet.
- Editable starting point, not a final document — Review and verify all content against your project specifications and standards before use.
What you can customize
When you save this ITP to your account, every inspection row becomes editable. You can add, remove, or modify:
- Inspection activity — Description of what is being inspected.
- Inspection type — Hold point (H), Witness point (W), Review (R), or Monitor (M).
- Responsibility — Contractor, subcontractor, engineer, or client.
- Frequency — How often the inspection occurs.
- Acceptance criteria — Referenced standard or specification requirement.
- Records — Forms, test reports, or checklists required as evidence.
Why this ITP is used
To verify that soffit fireproofing on composite steel deck achieves the specified fire-resistance rating with compliant thickness, adhesion, and continuity.
Who uses this inspection and test plan
Contractors, QA/QC inspectors, testing agencies, and consultants use this ITP to plan and verify inspections/tests.
When this ITP is prepared and submitted
From substrate readiness through post-application cure, testing, and final hold before ceilings/services are installed.
Who receives or approves this ITP
Consultant/Client for review and approval.
Inspection scope
Substrate cleanliness, environmental conditions, bonding agent application, SFRM application, thickness/density per ASTM E605, adhesion per ASTM E736, and final acceptance.
Typical hold, witness, and review points
HP-0 Mock-up approval; HP-1 Substrate readiness; HP-2 Thickness verification; HP-3 Adhesion acceptance; HP-4 Final inspection before concealment. Witness points throughout as identified.
Typical inspection records
Substrate acceptance, bonding logs, environmental logs, thickness/density/adhesion test reports, NCRs, repair logs, final acceptance certificate.
Important approval note
This ITP is an AI-assisted editable starting point, not a pre-approved document. Before use on any project, all inspection activities, hold points, and acceptance criteria must be reviewed and approved by the relevant parties (superintendent, principal contractor, or client representative) in accordance with your contract and project quality plan.
Always verify acceptance criteria against your applicable drawings, specifications, and regulatory requirements. Hold points must be confirmed with the relevant authority before work proceeds past that point.
