CQM 6.4Importance of Testing - answerIf tests are not performed properly, there are many
construction procedures and materials that cannot be confirmed as adequate. Visual
observation alone is
insufficient.
Types of Tests - answerThe contractor performs quality control (QC) testing to
determine whether construction procedures and materials are producing the desired
contractual product.
Procedures - answerThe contractor must outline proposed "testing procedures" as
defined in Section 01 45 00.00 10 and/or Section 01 45 00.00 20 in the QC Plan. These
proposed procedures must be discussed at the Coordination Meeting or the Mutual
Understanding Meeting.
The contractor must provide a list of required control tests and specify whether
the tests are to be performed by an independent, approved testing laboratory, or
using their own personnel and facilities.
Regardless of which method of testing the contractor uses, they are required to
assure that specified laboratory procedures are used and that laboratory facilities
are certified.
QA tests - answerare unannounced sporadic tests that repeat QC tests. QA testing can
be performed
by:
• Government personnel using the contractor's equipment and facilities,
• An independent testing laboratory, or
• A field office, district, or division government laboratory.
Before testing begins, the following questions should be answered and verified against
the approved QC Plan - answer• Has all required testing been identified?
• Are test reporting requirements understood?
• Have laboratory facilities and testing equipment been verified as acceptable?
• Are laboratory personnel qualified?
• Has the calibration of equipment been verified as accurate?
• Is there a procedure for documenting corrective steps?
After QC testing has begun, a thorough examination must be made of the test
reports submitted to ascertain that: - answer• Reports are being submitted for all tests
performed,
• Reports are complete and accurate, and
• Failing tests must be retested and cross referenced to the original failing test.
