Scratches and colourless areas can be caused by incorrect handling of the painted surfaces,
for example due to the subsequent fitting of parts.

and a variation in local colour.

CARRARO may subject each incoming batch of material to ensure the pieces conform to this

The decision to subject the incoming batch to inspection or not and the number of pieces to be
examined is at the indisputable discretion of CARRARO.
If one or more pieces of the incoming batch, subjected to examination does not pass the
requirements of this Carraro Specification with the relative enclosed, the batch will be considered rejected.

When a batch is considered rejected, The Carraro Quality Control will notify the supplier
who will agree with the Programming Department the counter measures to be adopted (e.g.
returning the batch, selection, repair, etc.).
All pieces recognised as rejects at the time of assembly (even if they are part of a batch found to be
suitable on arrival) will be returned as rejects.
If a batch is found to be defective Carraro will also return as rejected all the pieces on which tests have
been carried out (even if destroyed).
Carraro reserves the right to identify (without prior notice) by indelible marking, in areas where the
possibility of recycling the pieces is not compromised, all the pieces contained in rejected batches.
