# Inspection and test plan (ITP)

> An inspection and test plan (ITP) is a controlled document listing the inspection and test activities for a scope of work in sequence, with the applicable procedure, acceptance criteria, responsible party, record produced and the client's involvement level (hold, witness, review or surveillance).

## Key facts

- Hold point: work cannot proceed until the client or inspector has verified the step
- Witness point: the client is notified and may attend; work proceeds if they do not
- Review point: records are reviewed after the fact; surveillance is random monitoring
- Each line references the procedure, standard and acceptance criteria, and the record it produces (report, certificate)

Also known as: ITP, quality plan, inspection test plan.

## Where NDT fits

NDT activities appear as lines in the fabricator's or asset owner's ITP: for example 100% VT of all welds, 10% RT of butt welds per ASME VIII UW-52, MPI of fillet welds per AWS D1.1. The inspection company's reports are the records that close those lines.

## ITPs in AMPS

An ITP scope becomes a set of jobs in AMPS, often in a job group, each producing its report from your Word template. The job statuses on the asset page show which lines are complete, in progress or not started.
