Project Quality Plan (PQP) is normally required for criticality “1” packages.
It is based on ISO 10000 5 Quality management — Guidelines for quality plans.
It would have the same requirements as ISO 9001 QMS but intended for implementation at project level.
Project Quality Plan (PQP typically includes:

- Product identification and traceability (including raw material traceability and marking)
- Process control (QC procedures such as NDE examination procedure, test procedures, WPS, function test procedure, pressure test procedure)
- Inspection and testing (reflected within package Inspection and Test Plan)
- Control of inspection, measuring and test equipment (Calibration program includes calibration procedures, register, test reports & certificates)
- Inspection and test status (Test reports, mill test report, test records)
- Control of nonconforming product (NCR Procedure, register and reports)
- Corrective and preventive actions (normally addressed within NCR reports)
- Handling, storage, packaging, preservation and delivery (addressed within packing and shipping procedure, lifting plan for heavy components or equipment normally over 2000 kg.)
