the intended purpose and which enable appropriate operation as well as all special features of the equipment or
which typically belong to the delivery, irrespective of whether or not these deliveries and services are listed in
detail in these Standards or the contract documents, respectively. The Contractor shall inspect and test all
equipment prior to the shipment, independent from inspections by the Client or the End Customer. This inspec-
tion/test will not release the Contractor from any warranty or guaranty responsibilities.
The Contractor shall perform the services employing its own personnel hired by it and directly depending on it or
hiring one or more subcontractors, having the experience, technical capacity and proper professional prepara-
tion to execute the tasks contemplated under this contract. The Contractor agrees that it will completely and
thoroughly comply with all applicable laws, regulations and industry norms currently in force that are applicable to
or associated with the delivery of the equipment and the performance of the services, especially those regarding
The Contractor expressly certifies that it has obtained all the authorizations or permits requested by current regu-
lations for the delivery of the equipment and performance of the services and commits itself to maintaining those
authorizations and permits, at its exclusive cost.
The Contractor shall verify without any delay, if the Client’s requirements and specifications are unclear, incom-
plete or incorrect, and if the offered or supplied/performed equipment or services deviate therefrom. In the event
the Contractor becomes aware of any such circumstances, it shall notify the Client immediately in writing.
After placing of the order the Contractor shall not be allowed to make any changes of the ordered equipment or
services, including changes regarding the design, engineering, materials or (if relevant) production processes,
without the Client’s prior written consent. If the specific design, engineering, materials or production process is
determined only after order placing, or if changes are made with the Client’s consent, the Contractor shall exam-
ine the potential consequences regarding the equipments’ or services’ quality or fitness for the intended purpose.
In this case, the Contractor will immediately inform the Client of any such potential consequences or any neces-
sary or useful consequential changes. In the event that during five (5) years preceding the order placing the Cli-
ent has procured identical or similar equipment or services for an identical or similar purpose from the Contractor,
the Contractor shall explicitly notice the Client of any and all potentially quality related or functionally relevant
changes of materials and production processes or services since the previous order, even though such changes
not affect the specification of the ordered equipment or services.
The Contractor shall in its sole responsibility establish a quality assurance system and an internal inspection
concept in order to meet the requirements of the Client. The Contractor is committed to the “zero-defect objec-
tive”. The Contractor shall be obliged to examine all functional relevant characteristics of the ordered equipment
or services by means of appropriate testing procedures on a regular basis during the production process and
prove the examination results by providing the testing protocols, if so requested by the Client.
Upon Contractor’s receipt of any notice for complaint, it shall immediately ensure the necessary repair, replace-
ment or other remedy measures and dispatch the required qualified service personnel to the End Customer’s
site. The Contractor shall to initiate and carry out all required measures in order to avoid or limit any further dam-
age, in particular resulting from delays on the site, to the Client and the End-Customer. Upon Contractor’s receipt
of Client’s notice for complaint, the warranty period shall be suspended for as long as the complaint is not reme-
died in full or the negotiations between the Contractor and the Client are not concluded; in any case the warranty
claims shall become time-barred at the earliest three (3) months after the end of the suspension.
3.1 General
All elements, components and machineries shall be designed to function in the environment of a plant for derived

motors which are directly connected to the power net with rated power of 0,75 - 375 kW must be supplied in effi-
ciency class IE3 (premium efficiency).
If not specified differently in Appendix 2 (scope of supply) variable speed drives (VFD) are part of the Contrac-
tor’s scope. In order to guarantee a larger frequency setting range, frequency controlled drives have to be de-
signed preferably with a motor frequency at max. speed approx. up to 90 Hz. In case the Contractor does not
supply the control system, layout data has to be agreed upon with the Client. Frequency controlled motors may

agreed upon with the Client, especially if the Client will provide the control system.
Each electrical device and piece of electrical equipment shall be labelled with a durable, text printed or engraved,
nameplate, letter height minimum 5 mm. It should be installed as close as possible to related device, however
not at the device itself. Cables have to be marked on both ends with complete cable name on durable attached
cable tags. Nameplate identification shall be consistent with all control documentation and control software iden-
tification of each particular device. This applies to panels, field devices and cables.
All internal single wires inside terminal boxes, cabinets and local panels have to be labeled on both ends. At
minimum labeling includes device ID and connection point. Example: -K05:13; -X123:14
For machines on which during normal operation regular inspections, maintenance or tool-change etc. have to be
carried out with the need to switch off the motor (blender, saws, airlocks etc.), locally lockable disconnect switch-
es have to be provided by the Contractor of electric control. For pre-wired complete machines, these disconnect
switches are delivered by the machine supplier and to be mounted in a housing and, as far as technically possi-
ble, pre-wired to the relevant motor and adequately labeled.
The disconnect switches must be designed for 3-phase power switching (also for Y/D-starter) and have minimum

plied for each machine unit shop mounted and pre-wired to junction boxes. The pre-wiring has to follow the Cli-
ent’s electrical drawings. The Client will supply this documents right in time, if the Contractor will start the pre-
wiring sooner, so he has to request this information from the Client. If pre-wiring cannot be carried out because it
is either technically not possible or feasible, the Client must be informed immediately.
A space of min. 25 % has to be reserved in the junction and switch boxes. Some spare terminals have to be
installed. If specified in the scope of supply, fieldbus modules and field bus connector in the control type terminal
boxes have to be included.
All necessary mounting plates, brackets and fixing material for the electrical equipment such as motors, sensors,
instruments, junction boxes and field control boxes must be supplied by the Contractor and, as far as is techni-
cally possible, pre-mounted by the manufacturer. Field units, which cannot be mounted for mechanical reasons,
have to be supplied separately including all fixing material, clearly described for easy identification. Descriptions
such as „one box small materials, limit switches, etc.“ are not permitted.
Hinged doors shall be provided at all field enclosures and with a ground connection inside.
For all motors, brakes, limit switches, junction and switch boxes, as well as for all field instrumentation, suitable
metric screw type cable fittings (bushings) have to be supplied, completely mounted, by the Contractor. For mo-
tors metal types have to be used. In all cases extended motor connection boxes have to be used.
For bigger motors, the following cable size termination must apply (at 400 V up to approx. 100 m and under nor-
mal temperature conditions). The Contractor has to take care, that motor termination box and cable glands will fit
to connect NYY-cables as per listed sizes.
Notes:
Usually cable infeed for 315 / 350 kW motors are obtainable for two main cable in-feeds only.
The Contractor has to make sure, that the above listed cable sizes are connectable.

For frequency controlled motors which are wired up with shielded cables, screw fittings with
integrated shield connection such as Lapp “Skin top MS-SC-M” must be used.
The Client’s standard system (DIN EN 81346) must be used. In case of a written approval for deviation (see Ap-
pendix 2) at least the Client’s area descriptions and code letters have to be applied as leading ID code charac-
ters.
