Why this ITP is used
To ensure doors and frames meet specified performance and workmanship requirements with documented inspections and tests.
Who uses this inspection and test plan
Contractor QA/QC, Site Engineers, Supervisors, and the Consultant/Client for witnessing and acceptance.
When this ITP is prepared and submitted
From material delivery through installation to final handover of each doorset.
Who receives or approves this ITP
Consultant/Engineer for review and witnessing per ITP.
Inspection scope
Covers materials verification, opening/set-out, frame positioning/fixing, perimeter treatment, ironmongery, seals, and operational performance.
Typical hold, witness, and review points
Hold: pre-fix frame alignment, door hung/gap verification, seals for fire/smoke doors, final acceptance. Witness: opening set-out, fixing, ironmongery, closer setup.
Typical inspection records
MIRs, IRs with photos, gap logs, closer timing/force checks, permits, calibration certs, as-built records, O&M documents.
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.
