13.0 DEVIATIONS
13.1 Deviations from this specification are only acceptable where the SELLER has listed in his
quotation the requirements he cannot or does not wish to comply with, and the BUYER
has accepted in writing the deviations before order is placed. If the manufacturer can offer
alternatives resulting in technical or price advantages without sacrificing operability, safety
and maintainability, he should submit a supplement to the main tender with a separate list
of deviations.
13.2 In the absence of a list of deviations, the BUYER will assume that the SELLER fully
complies with this specification.
