dards. Evidence of type testing shall be provided to verify the insulation integrity,
short circuit withstand and interrupting capability and mechanical endurance. Routine
testing shall check the proper operation and insulation of each device.
Assemblies and panels shall be inspected during construction, including at 50 % of

completion. The assembled panel shall receive a complete voltage test in accordance
with statements above. Afterwards the proper operation of the panel shall be demon-
strated before shipment to the site.

Page 27
Following erection, the Contractor shall demonstrate the proper operation of the
equipment. Special attention shall be given to testing the equipment in all operating
modes.
5.1.1 Panels
All panels shall be completely assembled and tested and certified in the factory. All
tests and guarantees shall be made in accordance with applicable IEC standards.
The electrical tests shall demonstrate adequacy and integrity of the insulation, continu-
ity and accuracy of all internal wiring. The tests shall include point-to-point continu-
ity tests and electrical insulation tests. The Contractor shall be responsible for proper
protection of instruments and devices that may be damaged when test insulation.
Tests and checks shall be made by Contractor before shipment to insure that ail elec-
trical equipment and wiring furnished and installed by Contractor is in proper operat-
ing condition and that the wiring is in exact accordance with the wiring diagram and
that all wiring will function as intended.
The wiring shall be capable of withstanding a 1-min test at 1500 VAC, all parts to
ground.
6 QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)

The Contractor shall fulfil the quality assurance/quality control requirements listed for
individual equipment in the respective Technical Specifications and in Part 1
Clause 2.6 "Quality Assurance and Quality Control".
The quality assurance/quality control procedures shall cover but not be limited to the
following:
− Design criteria and engineering calculations
− Factory and field inspections
− Wiring insulation testing
− Control and functional tests
− Protective relay settings and tests
Quality assurance/quality control documentation shall include, but not be limited to,
the following:
− Inspection reports
− Certified test reports
− Material certification for the specified requirements of cables, insulation, conductor
material etc.
