Fabrication Quality Control Checklist

Use this Steel Fabrication Quality Control Checklist to verify materials, welding, dimensions, and more meet project specs and industry quality standards.

1. Are raw materials inspected upon delivery for compliance with specifications?

2. Is the material identification clearly marked and traceable for quality assurance?

3. Are the materials free from defects such as cracks, corrosion, or other visible damage?

4. Is the material conforming to the required standards (e.g., ASTM, EN, ISO)?

5. Are certificates of conformity provided for all materials used in fabrication?

1. Is the cutting process performed using the correct equipment and settings?

2. Are the cutting edges and surfaces smooth and free from imperfections?

3. Is the machining done according to the design specifications and tolerances?

4. Are all fabricated components inspected for dimensional accuracy?

5. Is the cutting and shaping equipment regularly calibrated and maintained?

1. Are welding procedures followed according to established standards (e.g., ASME, AWS)?

2. Are welders certified and properly trained for the specific type of welding required?

3. Are welds visually inspected for defects such as cracks, voids, and improper penetration?

4. Are non-destructive tests (NDT) such as ultrasonic or X-ray performed on critical welds?

5. Is the welding equipment properly calibrated and in good working condition?

1. Is the steel surface prepared and cleaned before coating (e.g., sandblasting or pickling)?

2. Are coatings and paint applied evenly and according to the manufacturer’s specifications?

3. Are coating thickness and adhesion regularly tested and documented?

4. Is the environmental condition (humidity, temperature) controlled during coating?

5. Are the correct types of coatings used for specific conditions (e.g., corrosion-resistant for outdoor structures)?

1. Are fabricated components accurately aligned and fitted according to engineering drawings?

2. Is assembly done with the proper tools to ensure correct placement and secure connections?

3. Are fixtures and jigs used to maintain precise alignment during assembly?

4. Are all joints and fastenings checked for strength and integrity before final assembly?

5. Are all fasteners (bolts, nuts, rivets) of the correct type, size, and material?

1. Are all fabricated components measured for compliance with specified dimensions?

2. Are tolerances checked regularly, and is there documentation of measurements taken?

3. Is there a system in place to track deviations from specified tolerances and correct them?

4. Are all parts inspected for proper fit during the assembly phase?

5. Are there proper tools, such as calipers and gauges, used to measure components?

1. Is a final visual inspection performed to ensure the completed structure is free of defects?

2. Are all welds, joints, and fasteners checked for structural integrity and strength?

3. Is a detailed inspection report generated, documenting the results of all quality checks?

4. Is all necessary certification and documentation provided to the client upon completion?

5. Are all fabrication steps and changes tracked and logged in the production records?

1. Are all workers using proper personal protective equipment (PPE) during the fabrication process?

2. Is the work environment maintained according to safety standards to prevent accidents?

3. Are all lifting equipment and machinery used for fabrication inspected for safety compliance?

4. Are safety procedures for welding, cutting, and handling of materials strictly followed?

5. Are proper ventilation and fire safety measures in place in the fabrication area?
