Some others must only be monitored and full witnessing is not necessary; for these items, the inspection man-days etc. depend on the purchaser’s decision. Some prefer stringent monitoring and even assign a resident inspector in the manufacturing shop, and others relay to the quality control system of the manufacturer and assign only a few days for monitoring points. These are some of the inspection points that need to be witnessed, checked monitored and reviewed by a third party inspector for a water tube boiler construction.
