FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Construction
and Related Engineering Services Sectional Committee had been approved by the Service Sector Division
Council.

The need for correct structural design and proof checking of structural designs has been recognized as an important
step in ensuring safety and durability of the structures and also for public safety in tandem with the rapid
advancement in engineering and the fast pace of development that is happening in the country. Adding confidence
and reducing risk through such a process is essential, since it provides risk mitigation on account of errors in the
design stage and thus ensures safety.

The intent of this standard is to:

a) overcome the shortcomings of the current practices and terminologies being followed (in the government
and private sectors) and suggest those that ought to be adopted and followed as a matter of good and
sustainable practices;
b) eliminate subjectivity/arbitrariness and bring transparency, uniformity, and inclusiveness in the
qualification requirements and appointment of a Principal Design Consultant (PDC) and a Proof Checking
Consultant (PC);
c) remove ambiguities that are evident or implied, by defining and thus clarifying the various associated
terms; and
d) elaborate the scope of services, deliverables, and associated responsibilities for the owner, PDC, PC and
constructor so that all stakeholders can take informed decisions while procuring and/or delivering such
services.

While preparing this standard, considerable assistance has been taken from Recommended Guidelines on Proof
Consultancy Services for Buildings published by Indian Association of Structural Engineers.

This Indian Standard defines the scope and responsibilities of various stakeholders, different models of
appointment of PDC, and different categories of proof checking based on project delivery modes. It also includes
the minimum qualification and experience of team members and team leaders of PDC and PC.

This Indian Standard excludes peer reviewing of structural designs where the reviewer has not been appointed by
the owner.

The educational qualification and experience of the team leader of PDC and PC mentioned in this standard are
the minimum requirements. However, users of such services may take appropriate decisions on it based on the
nature, importance and scope of work. A licensed/registered/empaneled structural engineer, where the practice
exists, may be appointed to act as the team leader of PDC/PC if it meets the requirements of the standard. The
intention of this standard is not to replace the registration and licensing system but to guide and bring uniformity.

The scope of the standard provides durability and sustainability aspects in services provided by PDC and PC apart
from functionality, safety and economic aspects. Considering the current scenario for structural design and proof
checking of structural designs, it is expected that PDC and PC should take up the project comprehensibly apart
from traditional roles.

The composition of the Committee, responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.

For deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value, observed, or
calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 2022 ‘Rules
for rounding off numerical values (second revision)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
