Abstract
Quality assurance (QA) for a preinsulated joint begins with the planning and request for quotations, and is not complete until the final document concerning the projects is filed. The aim of this project has therefore meant that the entire process, with the emphasis on the control methods, has been evaluated to identify possible improvements for the QA of joining preinsulated pipes. Our results can be summarized as follows: Efforts made at Quality Assurance must exist at all stages and levels of the process. Small improvements in a large number of stages can give a good result compared with a larger effort in a specific stage. The driving force for a well functioning QA is a control function with precisely defined areas of responsibility and authority. Further a well developed internal control system at the contractor`s is necessary, which in turn means work sheets and control methods including statements concerning tolerances. The purchaser must ensure that the inspectors check list and the work sheets from the various contractors are included in the quotation. Check lists and work sheets must include parameters which are aimed at establishing good premises for subsequent stages of the work. To the extent that such documents do
