ISO 14313 Inspection & Test Plan (ITP)
A typical stage-wise ITP / quality plan for valves supplied to ISO 14313 — inspection activities, tests, acceptance references and verifying documents, with recommended hold, witness and review points for QC and third-party inspection.
What is the ITP for ISO 14313 valves?
An Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) sequences every check between raw material and dispatch, and assigns each an inspection level — Review (document check), Witness (inspector may attend), or Hold (work stops until released). The plan below is a typical ITP for valves built to ISO 14313 (Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries - Pipeline Transportation Systems - Pipeline Valves); the tests and documents are drawn directly from the standard's requirements. Use it to structure your QAP or coordinate third-party inspection.
1. Documentation & design review
Review- Approval of drawings, datasheets and QAP against ISO 14313
- Requirements fully harmonised with API 6D - same design, testing, and documentation criteria
- Full-bore piggable design for pipeline mainline block valves
2. Raw material verification
Review- Material Test Reports (MTRs) review per EN 10204 3.1/3.2
- Positive Material Identification (PMI) of pressure-containing parts
3. Dimensional inspection
Witness- Dimensional check per ISO 14313 / ASME B16.34 / applicable face-to-face
- Wall thickness verification
4. NDE (as applicable)
Witness- Visual, and RT/UT/MPI/DPT of castings/welds per specification
5. Pressure & performance testing
Hold- Shell test: 1.5× rated pressure, 15 minutes minimum, zero leakage
- Seat leakage test: 1.1× rated pressure, acceptance per ISO 5208 rate A or B
- Anti-static continuity test: ≤10 ohms across stem-ball/disc-body
- Functional test: open-close-open cycle under rated pressure
Primary hold point — witnessed shell, seat and backseat tests.
6. Marking, painting & preservation
Review- Nameplate & body marking verification
- Painting/coating DFT check, end protection and preservation
7. Final documentation
Hold- ISO 14313 compliance certificate
- Shell and seat pressure test reports
- Material Test Reports (MTR) per EN 10204 3.1
- Anti-static test report
- Fire-test certificate per ISO 10497 / API 6FA (when fire-safe is specified)
Final documentation review before release/dispatch.
This is a typical ITP framework populated from ISO 14313 requirements, for reference. The actual hold/witness/review split is agreed per project between purchaser, manufacturer and the third-party inspection agency in the approved QAP. Confirm project-specific requirements before use.
