Only for towers (not for extensions): The bolts, that designated for connecting the
tower to the foundation legs, must be individually packed. The bolts, including nuts
and spring washers, shall be stored in a sealed box, marked like the other boxes, and
with addition sticker with the caption "bolts for foundation connection".
The bolts types and quantities for foundation connection appear in the production
drawing of the tower.
For towers ordered by I.E.C catalog number, the type and amount of bolts (including
nuts and spring washers) for foundation connection of each tower type, appear in
Annexure 14.
For towers ordered by weight, before packing, the manufacturer shall receive from
I.E.C representative the type and quantities of bolts (including nuts and spring
washers) for foundation connection, for each tower type.
All boxes that associated to one I.E.C catalog number (tower, extension, cross arm
and etc.) shall be stored together on a wooden pallet. The boxes shall be wrapped by
plastic wrap and secured with galvanized steel strips to the wooden pallet - so it will
be one package that prevents falling parts.
The top surface of the wooden pallet surface shall be at least 2.5 cm thick, and the
height of the pallet shall be at least 15 cm so that the forklift teeth can enter inside.
A different packaging method for bolts, nuts, spring washers, climbing steps and
safety rings, can be proposed for I.E.C approval in advance.

Annex No. 11 – Hot plating of Zinc, Process control

Objective
The purpose of this annex is to define the means of control and treatment of parts that go
through Zinc coating, in order to guarantee final product quality and reliability within a
corrosive environment.
1. General
In order to guarantee adequate control of the process it is necessary to establish a
quality control system and document all stages of the process with regards to each
batch of parts that undergo the coating. The contractor shall appoint a trustee, whom
is responsible for the maintenance of the system described above and in addition shall
document all activity aimed at guaranteeing final product quality, delivered to I.E.C
as described below.
2. Process Control
The manufacturer shall submit to I.E.C quality control full documentation with
regards to all the process stages. The documentation shall include the following
information regarding each process stage:
A. Type and concentration of materials as well as measurement method and control.
B. Process temperature and means of measurement.
C. Process duration and means of measurement.
D. Criteria which define adequate completion of any given process stage and its
progress towards subsequent treatment.
E. Production line maintenance procedures: methods of inspection, concentration
levels of active material components and documentation of the findings, frequency of
inspection\monitors, documentation of introduction of materials to the bath etc.
3. Documentation
3.1 Documentation shall be performed by means of a "route card", located within
proximity to the batch and associated with each and every stage of the process: clean,
rinse and flux, dry, soak in Zinc, cool, etc. Matching between identification/marking
of a given batch and the corresponding documentation must be ensured.
3.2 A contractor representative shall provide his/her signature indicating proper and
completion of the specific process stage.
3.3 The signed certificates shall be submitted to I.E.C quality control prior to delivery
of the batch for approval.
38
Page no. :39 of 55
4. Final Inspection
4.1 The manufacturer shall establish and document criteria, based upon relevant and
approved standards (such as Israeli standard 918, 265 etc.), in order to enable
acceptance\rejection of the final product.
4.2 Inspected products shall be marked or labeled as "approved", "further processing
required" etc. The label must include the date, batch number and a distinct signature
of the inspector.
4.3 Corrective action – the manufacturer shall establish procedures for corrective
action in the event of defects revealed during inspection of the final product,
including root cause identification, means of fixing the defect, approval and
documentation.
