INSPECTION AND TEST PLAN
TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR BINA.THERM, CONTRACTORS AND CLIENTS
Client: _________________________________________________________
The purpose of the present document “Inspection and Test Plan” is to put together a
single document that records all inspection and testing requirements relevant to
installation of the BAUGRUP Decorative Thermal Insulating Wall Systems. Inspection
and Test Plan identifies the components of the system and work activities to be
inspected or tested, by whom and at what stage or frequency, as well as Hold and
Witness Points, references to relevant standards, acceptance criteria and the records
to be maintained. The attached in the Annexes Inspection and Test Plans, being
properly implemented, help ensure that, and verify whether, work has been
undertaken to the required standard and requirements, and that records are kept.
Hold Point - A ‘hold’ point defines a point beyond which work may not proceed
without the authorisation of a designated service provider, the General
Contractor’s or Customer’s representative/authorised person or a
regulatory authority representative,.
Self-inspection- Where the service provider performing the work verifies the
quality progressively - often with the aid of checklists.
Work area - A discrete section of the whole contracted works on the construction
project, defined specifically by location in a map as an annex to the Main
Agreement, where any installation works would be completed before it
moves onto another area.
Also delimited areas will be referred to in the Agreement as lots.

Contractor
The foreman of Contractor will document and maintain the Inspection and Test Plans
and thus will be the ITP Inspector.
The Inspector (the Contractor foreman) is technically instructed and has a good
technical and practical knowledge of, and experience in, the activities involved to
install the BAUGRUP Facade System. The use, understanding and acceptance of ITPs
by the foreman and other personnel is greatly enhanced since he was involved in the
document preparation.
The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all the required Inspection and Test
Plans are prepared, including those covering work or processes to be carried out by its
service providers. While it is preferable that its service providers prepare the ITPs for
their own work, in the final analysis some may require the service provider’s
involvement.
The senior responsibles of the Contractor will be made responsible for approving
Inspection and Test Plans, and any subsequent amendments, prior to their submission
or submission of compliance/conformity certification to the customer.
The General Contractor must appoint and ensure a person who will be available
anytime the review or consent from the Contractor Inspector will be requested or
intrepelated. The Inspector must sign in due time the necessary documents and agree
upon/report the modifications/altertion of the system according to real site situations.
The Client
The Client may also appoint and ensure a person who to review or consent the ITP’s
Checklists from the Contractor’s Inspector
Because 100% inspection and testing in most cases is neither practical nor desirable,
the ITP’s indicate the activities/products to be inspected and tested, as separate
activities, and carry out preliminary tests to assist in obtaining an early indication of
conformity
The following points describe what needs and control points have been included and
considered for each component of the Inspection and Test Plans. They explain the
components, possible fails and defects, and the relevant checkpoints have been
selected for verification.
The “what to test”, “how to test” and “when to test” is governed by:
- What the work is and how complex it is
- Accessibility for inspections and sampling
- Consequences of failure, including as follows:
- Cost of remedial work

INSPECTION AND TEST PLAN
TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR BINA.THERM, CONTRACTORS AND CLIENTS
The type, timing and frequency (the what, when and how often) of inspections and
tests are best determined in conjunction with the consideration of the characteristics
to be verified.
General sequence of work and method of erection of the BAUCLAD Wall system:
• Each bundle will be delivered in conforming transport package and lifted to the
necessary elevation and stored accordingly to ensure safety.
• The claddings and corniches will be fixed to the walls in sequence and placed in
accordance with working drawings.
• The corniches will be mechanically anchored and the claddings will be doweled.
• The Quality inspector will verify the quality of the installation, the strength of the
joinery, the mechanical fixing order and sequence.
Some characteristics can only be considered after one particular operation and before
another, but prior to application of final touch-up works, priming and painting.
Substrate requirements
Substrate must be levelled (not to have protruding parts like reinforced concrete over
the plane of the wall surface), must be rendered (covered with rough external
plastering) and dusted off and clean of debris.

Polyurethane Foam – according to producer’s Technical Datasheet
Modified Silane Polymer – according to producer’s Technical Datasheet
Aesthetic defects:
Note: The BAUCLAD & BAUTRIM wall system components allow to correct minor
surface irregularities. However the products are dependent on substrate quality,
evenness, leveling and rigidity. Before determining whether the aesthetic defects come
from improper installation, or product/component defects, the surface and integrity of
the substrate must be evaluated.
Functional defects:
- Cracking
- Delamination and bond failure
- Movement joint failure
The BAUCLAD & BAUTRIM system generally consists of five distinct layers:

1.4.4 Stage/frequency
Thereafter, frequencies may be increased and processes reviewed for ‘problem’ work
activities and decreased where consistent conformity was evidenced.
1.4.5 Records
Records provide the documented evidence necessary to verify that the BAUCLAD &
BAUTRIMproduct/service is used in accordance with the contract requirements.
The records will be in various forms, but mainly ITP checklists. Additionaly where
necessary the General Contractor or Client may request test certificates, certificates of
compliance/conformity, written approvals.
1.4.6 Specification/standard
The standards against which conformity is measured against the contract technical
specification.

INSPECTION AND TEST PLAN
TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR BINA.THERM, CONTRACTORS AND CLIENTS
For many inspections/tests, the methods employed will be specified or self evident and
determined by the characteristics being examined.
A typical test procedure using statistical techniques might, for example, cover:
- reference to work areas/lots or batches
- frequency of sampling
- method of taking samples
- method of conducting a test (including conditions)
- qualifications of test personnel and equipment calibration/condition/specification
- method of documenting results
In some cases it may be possible to satisfy the requirements simply by referencing the
requirements of Australian Standards and the like.
The Contractor identifies the Hold and Witness Points with the people responsible for
the inspection /test /endorsement and other requirements that are required for its
service providers and employees doing the work. Contractor will do this to the extent
that is necessary to be confident that the work is being carried out to the standards
required.
The General Contractor and Customer retain the option to inspect the work at any
stage and may identify Hold and Witness Points requiring the customer’s attendance.
The word “Surveillance” will be indicated in the ITP against all selected inspection or
test points that are not otherwise covered by Hold or Witness Points.
1.4.10 Checklists
Checklists will be completed with each inspection and test - where they will, in effect,
summarise the procedures that have, and should have, taken place up to the particular
point in the work process. They will be used to confirm all the matters have been
attended to. They will also remind to the Inspector and participating parties of all the
matters that should be checked.
The checklists will refer exactly to the installed lot (predefined facad area).
The fact that checklists exist, are used and are stored and content have been verified,
will give the General Contractor and Customer confidence that the person doing the
work at the Contractor’s Company is aware of all the important steps, attributes and
matters to be addressed, and the standards that should be complied with, and that
conformity is being verified.
