Note:-
1. The transformer oil will be inspected for its characteristics values at manufacturing works prior to
dispatch in presence of BARC engineers. The firm has to intimate this office atleast 10 days in advance
to enable us to depute our engineers.
2. Detailed technical catalogue shall be accompanied with the offer.
3. A copy of type test certificate shall be enclosed with the offer.
