About this ITP: This ITP defines inspections, hold/witness points, and records for installing elevator door operators and landing doors, covering safety, performance, and certification checks.

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 ensure each entrance meets code, OEM, and project requirements with verified records at defined hold and witness points.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

QA/QC engineers, lift installers, electricians, and the supervising consultant or third-party inspector.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

From material receipt through installation, commissioning, and final handover of each entrance.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Engineer/Consultant for approval before works and for sign-off at hold/witness points.

Inspection scope

Dimensional checks, anchoring, electrical tests, operator setup, timings, kinetic energy, light curtain response, zone unlock, and fire label verification.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

Sill installation, KE test, zone unlock, and fire rating verification are typical HOLD/WITNESS stages.

Typical inspection records

Receiving reports, setting-out sheets, torque/anchor logs, electrical test sheets, KE certificates, detector/zone test sheets, and handover dossier.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Use a calibrated kinetic energy meter or combine a calibrated speed meter with verified door mass. Keep calibration certificates in the dossier.

At least at commissioning and after any adjustment affecting door motion. Some projects require periodic re-tests—verify contract maintenance obligations.

Yes, within OEM limits using cam/vane positioning and controller parameters. Always re-perform the zone unlock test and update records after changes.
