The Owner/EPC Inspector shall have free access without any restriction, for those parts of his
supply concerned by the program, Owner shall be accompanied by EPC’s Inspector.
No relationship is foreseen to take place directly between the Supplier and the Owner
For tests on the premises of the Manufacturer or any Sub-supplier, the Manufacturer shall
provide all assistance, labour, material, electricity, fuel stores, apparatus and instruments that
may be reasonably requested to carry out such tests efficiently, without any extra cost to EPC.
All costs involved in making such tests are included in the supply price.
The Owner and EPC’s inspectors shall be made able to witness all the tests and inspections
programmed in connection with the visit.
The inspections shall be carried out in accordance to the Quality Assurance issues and in health
and safety condition.
The Supplier, according to ISO 9001 standard, shall establish and maintain documented
procedures to control, calibrate and maintain inspection, measuring and test equipment,
including test software, used by the Supplier to demonstrate the conformance of product to
the specified requirements.
In case of the inspector, EPC or Owner, find some matters not acceptable for safety reasons,
they have the right to cancel the inspection until the adverse situation will be solved.
Inspection, measuring and test equipment shall be used in a manner which ensures that the
measurement uncertainty is known and is consistent with the required measurement
capability.
During inspections or tests carried out in the Manufacturer’s workshop, all material certificates,
as well as all other intermediate tests certificates in accordance with the agreed upon test
schedule, shall be made available to EPC for inspection.
Supplier could be asked to arrange the remote inspection in order EPC/Owner can assist the
test remotely.
Besides, the latest issue of the related drawings indicating also the state of approval by EPC
shall be made available.
Failure of the equipment and or material when tested shall imply substitution, repair and retest
at Supplier’s care and expenses.
Whenever requested by EPC, the Manufacturer shall furnish to EPC, for approval, adequate
samples of all devices, hardware, materials, finishes, etc. to be used in the Works.
Such samples shall be submitted within a reasonable period of time to permit tests and
DocuSign Envelope ID: A2788EB8-15AB-4A26-B023-BE90CA585AED
Code: VD2103-FIT-GE-PRO-0009
examination thereof.
All items and material installed and finally supplied shall be identical to the approved samples.
Samples of devices, hardware, material and similar items will be returned to the Manufacturer,
if requested, for incorporation into the Work.
At the end of any test carried out (either intermediate either final), EPC Inspector, if present,
shall fill in the “Material Inspection report at workshop” using the form in attachment n. 3.
The Inspection Report form shall be signed by all Inspectors who attend the test, EPC-OWNER
/Third Party, and by the Supplier.
The terms “Accepted/Accepted with reserve” used in the report shall mean that the Inspector
recognized that the test prescribed on the materials have been carried out and the expected
results were obtained. Such words do not imply assumption by the Inspectors of any of the
responsibilities of the Manufacturer stated in the purchase order.
Calibration certificates shall be made available for “Review” by Supplier before the test.
The inspections, examination and /or testing shall not release the Supplier from any of his
obligation under the Contract.
Witnessing the tests and recording the result aims only to make sure that all these activities are
made correctly.
Therefore, should some questions arise in the option of the Owner Inspector, they shall be
pointed out in writing to EPC without affecting the test or inspection performance.
Should any quality problem to be foreseen during the test, EPC/OWNER should request to
postpone the acceptance and repeat the test.
Sampling consists of a portion of the supply, which is subjected to the specified tests,
represents the whole or part of the supply and determines, according to the results obtained,
the acceptance of the represented whole.
The sample is chosen freely EPC’s Inspector, if he is present, within the supply. The criterion for
the choice of representative samples of the supply must be established before starting
manufacture.
Usually the Sampling Criteria are chosen within the same standardization system followed for
the product manufacture and tests.
