2.0 PURPOSE

The Technical Specifications applicable to the project provide for Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the work executed by use of a Quality Management System (QMS). The basic concept of this process is that the contractor performs inspection & testing as per specifications to ensure a quality product and the Third Party Inspection Agency (TPIA) performs testing and Inspection as per the Guidelines on Quality System for Road. Bridges (IRC SP-47-1998) to ensure that the Contractor’s Quality Control test results are in order. The system requires that both the contractor and the TPIA have technical personnel who are competent in testing and inspection of all technical works. The general idea is that the contractor has to perform the necessary tests and inspection to ensure the likelihood that all works in his scope meet the specifications instead of “after the fact” testing to see if all works meet the specifications. This approach enables the contractor much more control over his operations. He is responsible for his product from the beginning to the end from the design to the construction of all his works till the final acceptance of all the works. The TPIA monitors his process of testing to make sure that what he is doing is adequate and accurate. Ensuring production of a quality work of durability and uniform performance by a Construction is the most important aspect of the quality supervision assignment of a TPIA.

3.0 TERMINOLOGY

Quality is defined as “The totality of characteristics of an entity that bears on its ability to satisfy the stated and implied need”. Quality Control is defined as the procedure adopted and controls exercised to ensure that the materials proposed to be used in production, process adopted for production and workmanships of production conform to the prescribed standards and laid acceptance criteria. The quality control is exercised by construction agency that ensures that the defined objective IS achieved through tests, checks and inspections by suitable qualified personnel. Further more, the objective evidences of all tests, checks and inspections carried out from time to time are documented in prescribed formats for reference and record.

Quality Assurance of a job is defined as a process which exercises various checks at different stages of a work right from its inception till its acceptance, to put it in service to ensure that the work has been properly designed and constructed as per approved designs, drawings and specifications.
Confirmatory Testing is defined as the sampling and testing which is carried out independent of quality control sampling and testing to confirm that the contractor’s results which have been reported are correct and representative, with statistical parameters of the material being produced/processed.
Acceptance is defined as those operations, inspections, sampling and accepting the tests that are conducted to determine whether the product or service will be accepted for use and payment. Acceptance is determined using a statically based acceptance plan in construction with assurance that the contractor has fulfilled the quality control obligations. Acceptance is the responsibility of the client.
