i)

Acceptance Criteria
i)

Positive result shall be taken from all type tests. In case of negative results of type
tests, if the Purchaser concludes that the Compact Substations operating safety
shall be lost, he may reject all the units of the same type and having the same
property. The Purchaser, at its unobjectionable judgement, may accept the
repetition of the tests, if the Supplier proposes to modify, within a reasonable period
of time, the design of the compact substations and to repeat, at its own expense, all
type tests required by the specification.

ii)

Positive results shall be taken from all routine tests and visual and manual
inspections.

Provisions For Acceptance Tests

In case that the type test reports are not submitted or the submitted reports are considered
to be inadequate, all or some of the type tests described in Sub-Clause 7.1. as indicated in
the Bid shall be carried out at the manufacturers premises or in an independent laboratory
in Turkey or abroad at the suppliers expense.
If it is stated in the Contract that some of the type tests shall be conducted abroad, other
acceptance tests will be not started unless positive reports of the tests performed abroad
are submitted to the Purchaser.
The Supplier will not claim for time extension due to delays in delivery caused by
performance of the type tests.
No payment shall be made to the Supplier prior to obtaining the results of the acceptance
tests.

ii)

Even if the type test reports submitted with the bid are found satisfactory or positive results
are obtained from the type tests performed during acceptance tests of the first party
delivery, the Purchaser, may, at its own discretion, request the repetition of all or some of
type tests at the first lot delivery or subsequent deliveries at the Manufacturers facilities or in
an independent laboratory in Turkey or abroad.
For the type tests to be carried out in Turkey or abroad, the required number of samples by
tests/standards shall be selected by the Purchasers representatives. For the type tests to
be carried out at abroad, the sample(s) shall be sealed, and shall be sent by the
Manufacturer to the laboratory in which the test shall be carried out.
In case positive results are obtained from these tests, all the costs will be paid by the
Purchaser as TL considering the type test prices given in the Contract. If the test prices are
quoted in foreign currency, they will be converted to TL considering the foreign currency
selling rate of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, valid on the test date.
In case negative results are obtained from the tests, all the costs of tests shall be paid by
the Supplier and remaining part of the order shall be cancelled.

7.3.4.
