1) Wherever V & W are both indicated, NPCIL QS to witness test or review TRs.
2) TRs not more than five-year-old from date of purchase order shall be reviewed for
acceptance. Otherwise test shall be carried out.
3) Minor: The characteristic of a component, process or operation whose failure
neither materially reduce the usability of the product in operation, nor does it affect
the aesthetic aspects.
4) Major: The characteristic of a component, process or operation whose failure may
cause operation failure which cannot be readily corrected at site or cause
substandard performance, increased erection and maintenance cost, reduced life
or seriously affect aesthetics or ergonomics.
5) Critical: The characteristics of a component, process or operation failure of which
will surely cause operating failure or intermittent troubles which is difficult to
rectify at site or render the unit unfit for use or safety hazards.
6) ‘‘Failure” of a characteristic means failure to meet the ‘acceptance norms’.
7) Sampling: Generally, in accordance with IS: 2500. If 100% “witness” is carried
out by “Prime contractor”, NPCIL will witness on sample basis, or if 100%
