9.            What is ITP’s? What are Hold and Witness Point?
Ans: ITP mean Inspection and Test Plan, details of work scope and required types of inspections.
Hold Point (H): is the level of inspection that client inspection must require through RFI and can’t be preceded until inspection is done by client.
Witness Point (W): is the level of inspection that inspection activity can be preceded without client inspection or if client is not available as per RFI Timing.
10.         What is RFI? When an RFI will be raised?
Ans:   Request for inspection (RFI), RFI shall be raised only when the status of the preliminary inspection is satisfactory, and the works (items) are Hold or Witness Point.
11.         What is Cable tray and how is it identified separately for Electrical and Instrumentation?
Ans:   Cable tray is the device used to provide support and protection to the laid cable in side the building or outside pipe rack.
12.         What is Calibration and what is process calibration?
Ans:   Checking / testing the equipment for its accuracy and serviceability are known as calibration.
Process calibration means carrying out calibration activity by following the adopted authorized method linked with standardization.
13.         What is the loop and how is the loop folder made?
Ans:   Loop is the electro-mechanical presentation of the circuit concerning to flow of liquid or gas, alarm system, control valve operation and other specific for which field installation instrument involvement is considered. There are certain condition and requirements to be fulfilled to complete the loop check.
The list of attachments including drawing, check list and punch list and other listed documents are arrange in folder (loop wise) for having an easy access to carry out the loop check and final hand over of the project. That folder with all possible documents is known as loop folder.
14. What is the specialty rather characteristics of loop check? How do you come to know that loop check is completed
Ans:   a. Loop check is a clear blue print of a successful system functioning (activity wise).
b. This emphasis the serviceability of each instrument installed either in field or inside the building,
c. This exposes also the limitation of some systems functioning as per the attached filled punch list,
d. One of the ready documents for final hand over of a project on completion,
e. It is always two team’s operation-one will be on field and the other will be in the control room, After every successful completion of loop check it is marked with Red Colored Label bearing the date
of the loop check and the witnessing parties initial.
15.        What is the standard and what is the Standardization?
Ans:   The standard means the authenticated documented instruction to be followed during execution
of any specific project for which it is made.
Standardization means the method of execution of certain standard, which is specific to the one
or more related activities in a project execution process.

16.         What is Inspection?
Ans:   This is a process of verifying the method application by means of following certain documented and authenticated instruction i.e. standardization is known as inspection.
17.         What are the responsibilities of QC Inspector?

21.        What are the differences between QA & QC activities?
Ans:   The QA activity means adopted method for verification of the execution of QC activity in turn it focuses towards the importance of implementation of QC role in the industrial and other sectors related to maintenance, production and construction specially.
The QC activity means the direct involvement in maintaining quality standard as per the adopted
method/standard by the way of carrying out inspection (activity wise) and making the documentation related to that. It also involves the activity involving for the project’s quality maintainability and process execution.
22.      What is Schedule ‘Q’ and how many appendices are there in schedule ‘Q’?
Ans:   Schedule ‘Q’ is the guidelines for the method application related to quality including the distribution of manpower (quality field oriented) and the quality process execution including quality control and quality assurance.
It has got six appendices covering all the process implementations related to execution of project performance with the focus towards maintainability of quality control and quality assurance.
