Note:-

 Coating Test The Zn–5Al–MM alloy-coated wire shall conform to the coating requirements of relevant standards.
 The parameters which are not covered in this RMS will be governed by the relevant standards & Technical
specification & Customer requirements.
 In case of any length shortage discrepancy and material defect found during manufacturing should be sole
responsibility of supplier.
 The acceptance of any quantity of material shall in no way relieve the Supplier of any of his responsibilities for
meeting all requirements of the specification and shall not prevent subsequent rejection if such material is found
defective later in plant, inspection, site etc.
 The wire diameter should not be less than the minimum specified diameter at any point of wire The UHS Zn–
5Al–MM alloy-coated steel wire/core, Carbon Wire rod, Zinc & Aluminium ,should be procured from Approved
sources only and TC should include ISI mark (if any)
 The incoming good inspection will be done on random basis.If even any single component rejection found whole
lot will be rejected. The acceptance in IGI will not absolve the supplier responsibility of any rejection later during
manufacturing ,inspection or at site. The supplier need to absorb all rejection related cost and provide
replacement in specified time frame.
-Any wire break due to material defect the core has to be replaced by the supplier.
 Manufactures Guarantee Certificate required or Material conformity certificate/deceleration with the relevant
standards as mentioned in the RMS.
