The terms of Checksheets, ITRs, and QVDs have been used interchangeably depending on the project or company
Nonetheless they are an essential tool for ensuring that all necessary inspections and tests are performed and that no important details are missed.
I’ve found some differences that don’t deviate them from their main purpose.
Checksheet is a document that outlines the list specific items that need to be checked during an inspection or test. The list is to be completed with checkmarks in checkboxes “YES”, “No”, “N/A” and “Punchlist” with space for initials.
Inspection and Test Report (ITR)
Goes a bit further than just checkmarks; it has fields to record values and more spaces to provide other details like readings, sketches and diagrams like for motor alignment.
Quality Verification Document (QVD) is a heavily Quality Assurance document that can either be a checklist of inspections for a component or a record sheet to document the results of a functional test.
Instructions and activities required to perform the inspections are described in the Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) developed by the project QAQC team.
Some examples of the inspections:
