Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Spray-Applied Cementitious Fireproofing (SFRM) to Structural Steel
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 SFRM installation complies with design thickness, adhesion, and density requirements for the specified fire rating.
Who uses this inspection and test plan
Contractor QA/QC, Specialist Subcontractor, Independent Lab, and Engineer/Client representatives.
When this ITP is prepared and submitted
From pre-start and mock-up through application, curing, and final acceptance prior to handover.
Who receives or approves this ITP
The ITP is usually submitted to the client representative, consultant, resident engineer, or project management consultant for review and approval before the related work activity starts.
Inspection scope
Covers substrate readiness, primer compatibility, mixing controls, application monitoring, thickness verification, adhesion and density testing, and documentation review.
Typical hold, witness, and review points
HP-1 Substrate readiness; HP-2 Primer compatibility; HP-3 Adhesion testing; HP-4 Final acceptance. W-2 Mix verification; W-3 Thickness checks; W-4 Density sampling.
Typical inspection records
IRs, test reports (E605/E736), mix logs, batch/lot traceability, calibration certificates, environmental logs, as-built thickness maps, NCR/CAR closures.
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.

| Activity | Inspection / Test | Acceptance Criteria | Responsibility | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-start Review and Design Thickness Schedule | Document review of UL/EN design mapping to members and required thickness | Schedule approved; W/D (Hp/A) basis recorded [Verify] | Contractor QA/QC / Engineer | Approved schedule, minutes |
| Substrate and Primer Readiness (HP-1) | Visual cleanliness; dryness; primer condition; dew point check | Clean, dry, sound; Tsubstrate ≥ Tdew+3°C [Verify] | QA/QC / Engineer | IR with photos |
| Primer Compatibility/Bonding Agent (HP-2) | Review compatibility letter; verify bonding agent application (if required) | Written confirmation; bonding agent per TDS | Manufacturer Rep / QA/QC / Engineer | Letter, TDS, application log |
| Mock-Up Approval | Thickness, finish, adhesion (E736), density (E605 sample if required) | Meets specified benchmarks; visual acceptance | Engineer / QA/QC | Mock-up IR, test reports |
| Mix Verification (W-2) | Check water ratio, mix time, batch identification | Within TDS limits; logs complete | QA/QC / Supervisor | Mix log |
| In-Process Spraying and Coverage | Visual coverage, rebound control, build per pass | Uniform application; no voids; pass thickness within per-coat limit | Supervisor / QA/QC | Daily report |
| Initial Thickness Checks (W-3) | Field thickness by pin gauge per grid | Average ≥ specified; no reading < 85–90% [Verify] | QA/QC | Thickness report |
| Adhesion/Cohesion Test (HP-3) | ASTM E736 pull test | ≥ project/manufacturer minimum; typical ≥ 150 psf (≈7.2 kPa) [Verify] | Independent Lab / QA/QC / Engineer | Certified test report |
| Density Test (W-4) | ASTM E605 core sampling and oven-dry density | Within product-specified range and tolerance [Verify] | Independent Lab / QA/QC | Certified test report |
| Final Inspection and Handover (HP-4) | 100% visual; spot thickness checks; documentation review | All ITP points closed; NCRs resolved; approvals issued | QA/QC / Engineer / Client | Final IR, approvals, as-built dossier |
