ITPs, weld records and the data pack (AS/NZS 1554 and 5131 work)

Inspection and test plan

On a draft BOM revision, Inspection and test plan lists the checks every work order made from it is signed off against. Each point has:

• its type: Hold (the work stops until it's signed), Witness, Review or Surveillance;
• the check itself;
• the acceptance criteria;
• a reference (the standard and clause, or the drawing).

On the work order, Sign… each point: Pass, Fail (say what) or N/A (say why), with the record it rests on (a dimensional report, a mill certificate number). An order can't be completed while a hold point isn't passed or marked N/A.

Welding procedures and welders

Manufacturing → Welding holds your WPS register (number, process, standard, revision) and your welders' qualifications, with expiry dates. Expired qualifications show red, and those expiring within 30 days amber.

Weld records

On a work order, Welds and data pack → Record a weld: the joint's mark on the drawing, the WPS, the welder (from the qualifications, or a name), the weld category (SP or GP, AS/NZS 1554.1), the consumable batch, the visual inspection, and any NDT with its method, result and report. A welder whose qualification had expired by the weld date can't be recorded. Set the job's construction category (CC1–CC4, AS/NZS 5131) here too.

The data pack

Data pack prints the manufacturer's data report for the order:

1. materials with batch and heat numbers, and whether the mill certificate is on file;
2. the inspection and test plan as signed;
3. the weld register;
4. the QC sign-offs;
5. any non-conformances.

It ends with a signature block. No prices are shown. Save it as a PDF from the print dialog to send with the job.
