8.0 Quality Assurance Testing & Inspection
8.0 Quality Assurance Testing & Inspection
This is a compilation of all the necessary forms and checklist used for quality
assurance and control on site for actual works done. There include forms for material
testing and approval, works testing and approval, testing results form, inspection
checklists and the likes. These standard records encompass all civil engineering works
including concrete works, road works, foundation works, water supply works and building
works.
These records are the recognized mandatory standard for JKR which the
contractor must include in their QAP and be incorporated in their construction processes.

2.0 Quality Control
Quality control in construction typically involves insuring compliance with minimum
standards of material and workmanship in order to insure the performance of the
facility according to the design. These minimum standards are contained in the
specifications. For the purpose of insuring compliance, random samples or statistical
methods are commonly used as the basis for accepting or rejecting work completed
and batches of materials. Rejection of a batch is based on non-conformance or
violation of the relevant design specifications. Quality records for this quality control
practice are listed in the following:
