Guidelines For Source Approval

Guidelines for Source Approval of Bearing.
1. Before procuring the components, the team (comprising of contractor, Authority

Engineer and Project Director/ representative of RO/ RO) shall inspect the
manufacturing unit and or Inspection and testing plan of expansion joint/ bearing in
the laboratory of manufacturer/ supplier or from NABL accredited laboratory I CSIR/
ISO recognized laboratory/ any other reputed laboratory and certify the quality of
expansion joints/bearings.
2. AE shall approve the Quality Assurance Programme (QAP). The QAP shall consist of
comprising the process of quality control, testing of raw material, various stages of
manufacture, testing of bearing and expansion joint components.
3. AE may carry out independent test on raw material and manufacturing process at
the workshop.
4. AE shall check all test certificates of bearing/ expansion joint manufactured.
5. Mill Test Certificates (MTC) or material test report carried out by manufacturer shall
at least include the materials and control parameters
6. The manufacturer should be able to establish the traceability of all major raw
materials with procurement and consumption record and Mill Test Certificate/
material test report.
