all reasonable inspection facilities by the CONTRACTOR. The inspection
facilities shall include all necessary tools, instruments, equipment and
qualified operators to facilitate inspection. A set of latest prints of the
relevant approved drawings shall be made available by the CONTRACTOR
to the PURCHASER or his representative for reference during inspection.
6.0 For the purpose of this clause, inter works orders are to be treated as sub-
orders. It is obligatory on the CONTRACTOR that he advises his SUB-
CONTRACTOR of the pertinent clauses in this specification when ordering
bought-out equipment or materials. In particular, the CONTRACTOR is to
advise each SUB-CONTRACTOR that he is required to supply design
calculations, drawings, inspection reports and test certificates strictly in
7.0 The CONTRACTOR will offer test reports on incoming material inspection,
for verification by Purchaser’s representative.
8.0 The CONTRACTOR is to provide test pieces as required by the Purchaser’s
representative to enable him to determine the quality of material supplied
under this contract. If any test piece fails to comply with the requirements,
the Purchaser’s representative may reject the whole material represented by
the test piece. The PURCHASER or his representative shall have the right to
select particular test piece of his choice from the lot in case of sample testing.
In case the results are found to be not satisfactory the Purchaser’s
representative shall have the right to test more number of pieces or each
piece additionally from the lot for testing or reject whole lot.

h) Check for chemical analysis of acid and water for mixing with
electrolyte and topping up.
i) Check for any cell container crack.
j) Verification of dimensions.
a) Visual inspection.
b) Verification of markings.
c) Tests for capacity (for duty cycle and C-10 discharge) and capability to
recharge.
NOTE: The battery shall initially on first charging be charged as per
manufacturer’s recommendation and subjected to few charge-
discharge cycles till 100% rated capacity assigned by manufacturer is
obtained.
1. Initial C10 discharge tests.
4. Discharge at high rate (as applicable for new battery including all
margins) till the specified end of discharge voltage.
6. Discharge at high rate (as applicable for new battery including all
margins) for specified duration.
8. Discharge at high rate (as applicable for new battery including all
margins) as above for specified duration.
d) Test for voltages both on bank and on pilot cells (1 out of each 6 cells)
during discharge.
g) Duty cycle discharge test on battery bank after float charge for three (3)
months.
1.1 Battery tag details and rating plate shall be permanently attached to battery
room. Name plate shall be of 3-ply laminated non-corrodible laminated
plastic material with black lettering engraved onto a white background. Name
plate shall able to stand the prevalent atmospheric conditions as indicated. The
inscription shall be engraved in black on the plate.
1.2 The size of the rating plate shall depend upon space availability but should be
reasonably sized for clarity and clear inscription. The size of the plates and
inscriptions shall be approved by the PURCHASER. The plates shall be
attached to the body of the equipment by screws.
1.3 Each cell of the battery shall be marked in a permanent manner to indicate the
following information:
b) Type of battery.
c) Cell designation as per the relevant standard.
