premises, the Contractor shall obtain for the Engineer and his duly authorized representative
permission to inspect as if the plant is manufactured on the Contractor’s premises.
The Engineer shall on giving seven (7) days notice in writing to the Contractor setting out any
grounds of objections which he may have in respect of the work, be at liberty to reject any drawings
& all or any part of workmanship if the subject of any of the said grounds of objection, which in his
opinion are not in accordance with the contract. The Contractor shall give due consideration to
such objections and shall either make the modifications that may be necessary to meet the said
objections or shall confirm in writing to the Engineer giving therein that no modifications are
necessary to comply with the contract.
The Contractor shall give the Engineer and his duly authorized representatives notice of any
material being ready for testing and the Engineer or the said representative shall (unless the
inspection of tests is voluntarily waived), on giving twenty four (24) hours previous notice in writing
to the Contractor, attend at the Contractor’s premises (as the case may be) within fifteen (15) days
of the date on which the material is notified as being ready failing which visit, the Contractor may
proceed with the tests which shall be deemed to have been made in the Engineer’s presence. All
standard shop tests, physical and chemical tests required by the Standards or as may be
prescribed or approved by the Engineer shall be conducted by the Contractor. The Engineer
reserves the right to waive any of the above test requirement and to prescribe new test required if
found necessary to expedite the work or to conform to the latest and best practice. Definitions,
methods of measurement, calibration of instruments and required procedure as referred in the
above standard and/or those approved by the Engineer as equivalent shall be followed. The
Contractor shall forthwith forward to the Engineer duly certified copies of the test certificates in
quadruplicate (one copy to the Purchaser and three copies to the consulting Engineer) for
approval. Further ten (10) copies of the shop test certificate shall be bound with the instruction
manuals referred to in clause “Contractor’s documents, drawings and instruction manuals”.
In all cases where contract provides for tests, whether at the premises or works of the Contractor
or any sub-contractor, the Contractor, except where otherwise specified shall provide free of
charge to the Purchaser, such labor, materials, electricity, fuel, water, stores, apparatus and
instruments as may reasonably be demanded to carry out efficiently such tests of the plant, in
accordance with the contract and shall give facilities to the Engineer or his authorized
representative to accomplish such testing.
When the tests have been satisfactorily completed in the Contractor/Sub-contractor’s Works, the
Engineer shall issue a certificate to that effect within fifteen (15) days after completion of test, but if
the tests were not witnessed by the Engineer or his representative the certificate would be issued
within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the test certificates by the Engineer. No plant shall be
transported before such a certificate has been issued. The satisfactory completion of these tests or
the issue of this certificate shall not bind the Purchaser to accept the plant should it on further tests
after erection, be found not to comply with the contract provisions.
