order to ascertain that the product for delivery complies with specified
requirements.
W Witness point The EMPLOYERs representative must be given notification of all process
activities designated with Witness Point within seven (7) working days (or
other time frame agreed by the EMPLOYER) before the start of that activity.
Once proper notification is given, the activity will proceed according to the
schedule regardless of EMPLOYERs representative attendance
The stages at which EMPLOYER shall require visual examination of a document

or documents, to ensure understanding of the content or compliance against
R Review Point specified requirements. The EMPLOYER is not required to be notified of a
review point and is not required to be present but can conduct the review at a
later stage.
A point where no further activities may proceed until verification of

compliance with the relevant activity / specification is achieved. The
CONTRACTOR is required to provide at least 7 working days’ notice to both the
EMPLOYER of a forthcoming hold point. If the EMPLOYER has not presented
H Hold Point
themselves within 1 hour of the notified time, then the CONTRACTOR can
proceed without the relevant sign off from the EMPLOYER. Activities cannot
proceed until either the EMPLOYER sign off on the hold point on the ITP or the
1 hour waiting limit has elapsed.

Rev: 02
Page 14 of 30
Depending on the Works being carried out, the EMPLOYER may accept less notification time of an
upcoming ITP intervention point if the activity being carried out is one which may be difficult to schedule.
This can be agreed at a local level between the EMPLOYERs Inspection Co-ordinator and the CONTRACTOR.
In instances where there is a change in time of an intervention point, the CONTRACTOR will as soon as
practically possible notify the EMPLOYER of the rescheduled time.
The EMPLOYER requires the final stage of all WTG substructure fabrication Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) to
include a final verification walk down between the EMPLOYERS Representatives & the CONTRACTORS
Representative to agree on any outstanding snags or outstanding works. This verification walkdown will be
designated a Hold point on the ITP.
14. Quality Management Process Alignment meeting

SWEL shall organise a meeting to ensure Quality Management processes are aligned, which will take place
at the CONTRACTORs office within four (4) weeks of contract award. Separate meetings will take place with
subcontractors as required.
The agenda shall be agreed between the EMPLOYER & CONTRACTOR but shall contain as a minimum: -
• Final review of contract content with regards to quality;
• Contract management requirements, i.e. resources and reporting requirements with regard to
quality assurance & quality control;
• Review of SDR and document control requirements;
• CONTRACTOR/subcontractor execution plan, schedule, production processes, sub-CONTRACTORs,

16. First Article Inspections

A First Article Inspection (FAI) is conducted in order for the EMPLOYER & the CONTRACTOR to agree on the
required level of quality for the product. The FAI is carried out in accordance with SWEL document
LF000009-QTY-MA-PRO-002 – First Article Inspection Procedure.
The FAI must include dimensional, cosmetic and performance requirements applicable to scope of supply.
A FAI is required for:
• Completed assemblies
• Completed sub-assemblies
• First Coated sections (May be handled through a Hold Point within the applicable ITP)
• New products
• Product or process changes
• Relocation of tooling to different manufacturing facilities
• Introduction of any additional manufacturing locations.

Document Reference
Rev: 02
Page 16 of 30
Each FAI shall verify to the extent reasonably possible within the activity that the component undergoing
inspection complies with all applicable requirements of the Contract within the defined inspection scope;
such FAIs shall be conducted on a sample basis meaning that it shall not in all cases be possible to verify all
requirements. The FAI shall also provide an agreed acceptance reference and drive prevention of
nonconformities for the remainder of each of these components to be produced for the Contract, and the
agreed inspection and control activities necessary to reach the required level of quality as specified in the
Contract for the product. The FAI shall where necessary review the CONTRACTOR’s documentation (for
specification of manufacture, pre-assembly, installation, commissioning as appropriate to the inspected
component) and as-built records of the inspected component.
FAIs shall be conducted according to a scope agreed by EMPLOYER and CONTRACTOR prior to each FAI of a
project component. The agreed scope and process may be based upon section 5.2 of European Standard
EN 9102:2006. FAI of a component within the Contract execution will not constitute ‘new product
representative of the First Production Run in relation to section 5.1 of European Standard EN 9102:2006
since the CONTRACTOR has commenced serial production prior to the Contract of the product type to be
supplied for the Contract.
For assemblies, the FAI of that assembly shall verify those requirements in the Contract relevant to the
assembly process, and not those of the constituent parts received as input to the assembly process.
The designated component selected as a first article shall be produced in accordance with the
CONTRACTOR’s own documentation, using the serial tooling, equipment, processing and cycle times in
relation to the manufactured modules, and the CONTRACTOR’s project tooling, equipment, processing and
cycle time set-up for the Contract execution in relation to pre-assembled and installed components.
Each FAI conducted shall be recorded in writing by the CONTRACTOR in a FAI Report where all main
characteristics will be recorded such as dimensional surveys, walkdown inspection, photographs and
electrical test reports if required.
The CONTRACTOR shall give the EMPLOYER at least ten (10) working days notification to participate in each
FAI detailing the time and location that the FAI is planned to take place. Subsequent to this notification,
the CONTRACTOR shall notify the EMPLOYER of any changes to the time that the FAI will take place as soon
as reasonably possible, if the EMPLOYER does not respond or suggests an unreasonable alternative date
the EMPLOYER shall be able to proceed regardless, and a subsequent component may then be used for the
FAI.
The designated part selected as a first article must be produced in accordance with the supplier’s own
manufacturing documents using production tooling, processing and cycle times.
All Final as-built documentation pertaining to the component must be made available for review by the
EMPLOYER in the format and structure in which the documentation will be handed over upon contract
completion. As Built Drawings must be marked up as being As-Built clearly showing any changes to the
drawings that were issued for construction.

In cases where an NCR has been raised by the EMPLOYER, the EMPLOYER requires an initial
acknowledgement of an NCR within 24 Hours of notification of the potential nonconformity. Short term
containment actions where required shall be identified within seven (7) working days of receipt of the NCR
and an initial action plan for correction including a time frame for completion of the correction of the NCR
shall be available within fourteen (14) working days of receipt of the NCR if correction has not been
completed within this time
The NCR will be deemed closed after a period of twenty-eight (28) working days from the date of
implementation of the correction by the CONTRACTOR, only, if during this time there has not been a repeat
of the non-conformance. In cases of non-conformity to requirements of the Contract, resolutions other
than correcting the non-conformance to comply with the original specification, must be requested, and
Accepted in writing by the EMPLOYER.
Any product which does not conform with the Contractual requirements shall be identified and controlled
to prevent its unintended use within the Works, this includes where a dispensation is to be applied for.
Prior to implementation of a disposition; in particular such nonconforming product that the CONTRACTOR
has decided not to include in the Works must be controlled in such a way that its unintended use in the
Works is prevented until the product is removed from site.
All non-conformities and their agreed disposition shall be documented in a non-conformity report form
Accepted by the EMPLOYER. These non-conformity reports shall describe:
1. The non-conformity.
2. The reason and source of the non-conformity.
3. The short term & long-term corrective actions.
4. The agreed disposition.
5. Reference to a Concession Waiver Request if requested.
All further Works / activities on the non-conforming products shall be stopped and the non-conforming
products shall be clearly and distinctly identified and quarantined from the normal production work to
preclude inadvertent use.
The Accepted non-conformity report shall not constitute a precedent for acceptance of lower standard
either in principle, or for similar components or non-conformities.
In instances where any part of the Works does not conform to specified requirements but is fit for purpose,
permission to use or release the product may be submitted to the EMPLOYER by means of a Concession
Waiver Request (CWR).

strategies as these falls within the scope of each of the CONTRACTORs
29. Snag list classification.

After each pre-determined inspection stage during the manufacture & installation of the various
components for the windfarm, any items which are noted as nonconformities during these inspections will
be recorded on the location specific master snag list. The snag list items noted during these inspections will
be assigned a classification rating from 1 to 3, depending on the severity of the nonconformity in terms of
risk to the safety of personnel, the safe operation of the WTG/support structure and/or Windfarm
A single master snag list per fabrication, manufacturing, assembly location will be maintained by the
CONTRACTOR. A snag will only be deemed closed once that snag has been verified as closed by the
EMPLOYER or by the EMPLOYERs Representative. The EMPLOYER expects that at Sectional Completion
stage for each Package, all snag list items will be closed except for minor items such as cosmetic
imperfections that will be scheduled for rectification at a date agreeable to both EMPLOYER and
CONTRACTOR. The EMPLOYER reserves the right to accept at sectional completion, components that have

Document Reference
Rev: 02
Page 23 of 30
open snag list items with a medium severity rating of 2, other than minor. This will be done on a case by
case basis and only once agreement has been received by the EMPLOYER
If the EMPLOYER & CONTRACTOR are unable to agree on the severity of a nonconformity type within the
snag list during the inspection and once the nonconformity type does not affect the safety of any personnel
working on or adjacent to the Windfarm or affect the safe working of the WTG/Windfarm, then the
nonconformity severity will be directed for review to the EMPLOYERs SQEP.
Acceptance of a component at the point of manufacture/fabrication or loadout does not constitute final
acceptance of that component. The EMPLOYER retains the right to carry out snagging of the component up
until final handover.
Snag list Severity Ratings
Classification Description
Class 1 snags are referred to as major ranked snag items and are classified as items which
will affect the safety of personnel and/or the safe operation of Windfarm. Major would
also cover any items which will prohibit the Windfarm from operating within the
Class 1 parameters as specified within the EMPLOYERs Requirements. These items require
immediate attention and must be rectified as a matter of priority. Transfer of Custody
(ToC) cannot take place from CONTRACTOR to the EMPLOYER with any Class 1 snag list
items being open.
Class 2 snag are referred to as medium ranked snag items and are classified as items
which do not adversely affect either the safety of personnel and/or the safe operation of
the Windfarm. Medium would refer to any snag list item which in itself would not prohibit
the Windfarm from working within the parameters as specified within the EMPLOYERs
Requirements, but continual use of the component while displaying the symptoms
Class 2 reported could lead to a Class 1 Major ranked snag list items occurring. These items shall
be rectified prior to Transfer of Custody (ToC) from the CONTRACTOR to the EMPLOYER.
Special dispensation may be made by the EMPLOYER at their sole discretion to accept a
component with a Class 2 snag list item, but this will be made on a case by case basis and
on the understanding that neither the safety of personnel and/or the safe operation of
the Windfarm will be placed at risk by the acceptance of the component.
Class 3 defects are referred to as minor ranked snag list items and are classified as items
which will not affect either the safety of personnel and/or the safe operation of the
Windfarm. Minor would refer to any snag list items which will not prohibit the Windfarm
from working within the parameters as specified within the EMPLOYERs Requirements.
Class 3
These items are either an operational or cosmetic hindrance only and can be scheduled
for rectification at a mutually agreed date, agreed upon by the EMPLOYER & the
CONTRACTOR. These items shall be listed within the Transfer of Custody (ToC) and shall
be rectified at the next scheduled maintenance activity
