Quality and qualifications

A result that can be verified.

Materials, procedures, inspections and records belong in the brief from the beginning. We define what will be checked, who is responsible and which evidence accompanies the supply.

Discuss qualification requirements ↗

Quality follows the work.

  1. 01

    Requirements and inspection planning

    We first define the equipment function, operating conditions, materials, critical dimensions and documentation scope. The inspection plan sets acceptance criteria, responsibilities and points requiring customer or inspector attendance or approval.

  2. 02

    Supplier selection and technical clarification

    Technical proposals are checked against the required parameters and supply scope. Deviations, interfaces, qualification evidence, tests, documents and schedule dependencies are clarified before ordering.

  3. 03

    Receipt of materials and components

    Incoming inspection checks quantity, identification, specification, delivery condition and accompanying records. Traceable materials retain a link between the item and its material document; PMI can be added where specified.

  4. 04

    In-process fabrication and assembly checks

    The inspection plan covers dimensions, tolerances, joints, surfaces, markings and assembly completeness. Welding is followed by the specified examination and NDT. Nonconformities and changes are recorded and addressed before the next step.

  5. 05

    Testing and factory acceptance

    FAT may combine document review with dimensional, functional, pressure or calibration tests. Conditions, criteria and participant roles are agreed in advance. The acceptance record captures results and any remaining actions.

  6. 06

    Verification after installation

    After installation, connections, alignment, wiring, signals and functional interfaces are verified as required. Site tests and applicable inspections take account of surrounding equipment and the operator’s conditions. Changes are reflected in the documentation.

  7. 07

    Handover, documentation and follow-up service

    Handover reviews the agreed documents, test results, operating and maintenance instructions and any open items with owners and due dates. Training, spare parts and service arrangements are defined for the equipment and contract.

The right qualification for the scope.

Competence requirements are defined for the product and activity. For the selected manufacturer or specialist, the relevant qualification and authorisation scope and required supporting records are checked against the project.

Welded carbon-steel and stainless-steel assemblies

People and competence

Welders qualified for the process, material, joint type and dimensional range, with assigned welding coordination. Specified NDT requires personnel qualified for the relevant method and level.

Procedures and requirements

Selection of WPS and procedure-qualification evidence for the product, consumable control, weld traceability and an inspection plan. ISO 9606, ISO 15614, ISO 14731 and ISO 9712 are applied as relevant to the activity and specification.

Records to verify

Required WPS/WPQR, verification of qualification validity and coverage, material records, weld records and dimensional or NDT reports.

Load-bearing structural steelwork

People and competence

The responsible structural designer, manufacturer and installation team, with welding coordination and inspection personnel appropriate to the manufacturing route and execution class.

Procedures and requirements

Definition of structural function, product requirements, design responsibility, execution class, tolerances and corrosion protection. For products within EN 1090, the relevant manufacturer’s factory-production-control scope is checked.

Records to verify

Fabrication and erection documents, material and welding records, inspection reports and product-conformity documents under the applicable requirements.

Pressure vessels, piping and valves

People and competence

A designer and manufacturer responsible for the defined scope, qualified joining and testing personnel and, where required by the equipment category, the relevant inspection or conformity-assessment body.

Electrical, instrumentation and controls; hazardous-area equipment

People and competence

Personnel competent for the activity, electrical or instrumentation engineers and, where applicable, a statutory inspection technician with a valid certificate covering the required scope. Supplier authorisation for work on regulated electrical equipment is checked separately where required. Hazardous-area work also requires suitable competence and supporting documents covering that environment.

Procedures and requirements

Verification of power supply, signal interfaces, wiring and measuring ranges. Regulated equipment requires checks of the necessary authorisation scope; hazardous-area applications require area classification, appropriate equipment protection and supporting documents.

Records to verify

Diagrams, instrument and signal lists, instrument settings, functional-test records and required inspection reports, plus applicable hazardous-area documents and installation conditions.

Site installation, shutdowns and service

People and competence

An installation supervisor and trade specialists suited to the work, with personnel competent to use the required handling and installation equipment. Preparation includes site conditions and interfaces with the customer’s operations.

Procedures and requirements

Definition of the work area, access, equipment isolation and handover, trade interfaces and work sequence. Inspection points and tests are incorporated into the shutdown programme and site permit requirements.

Which verification and document to request

Acceptance testing, calibration, statutory inspection and conformity assessment serve different purposes, so agree their scope and expected documents before supply.

On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to compare the selection criteria.

Which verification and document to request
Principle or optionTypical applicationWhat to agree and which output to expect
FAT: factory acceptance testVerification of agreed functions and requirements before shipment, for example for a control system or assembly.Approved procedure, criteria and simulated interfaces; the output records results, deviations and open items within the tested scope.[1]
SAT: site acceptance testVerification after installation, considering actual connections and agreed operating conditions.Site and utility readiness, interfaces and criteria; the output is a site test record and a list of outstanding actions.[1]
CalibrationEstablishing the relationship between instrument indication and reference values under specified conditions.Measurement points, traceability and uncertainty; the output reports calibration results, not adjustment or an automatic pass/fail decision.[2]
Statutory inspection, e.g. electrical equipment in CzechiaAssessment of equipment safety within the scope of applicable requirements.Equipment type and extent, documentation and inspector qualification; the output is an inspection report with findings and a conclusion on the inspected condition.[3]
Product conformity assessmentDemonstrating compliance with applicable legal requirements before placing a product on the market or putting it into service.Applicable legislation and procedure; the manufacturer prepares technical documentation and the relevant declaration, with notified-body involvement where the required procedure calls for it.[4]
