The English language and the International System (SI) units of measurement
shall be used in all documents and drawings; refer to I S O / I E C 8 0 0 0 0 .
Where the SI unit is a conversion of a manufactured dimension, the original
dimension can be placed in brackets, after the SI units. For example, 50mm
(2in) pipe.
1.4 Product/Asset Warranty

The equipment shall be guaranteed to meet specified technical particulars
listed in this Specification and all referred standards and codes. These
guarantees and particulars shall be binding and shall not be varied without the
written permission of the Company's Representative. Any deviation, concerning
both requirements and recommendations shall be identified in writing at the time
of quotation.
If the guaranteed performance of the equipment is not met and/or if any
component fails to comply with the specification requirement in any respect
whatsoever at any stage of manufacture, test or erection, the Company
Representative may reject the equipment, or defective component thereof,
whichever he considers necessary, and after adjustment or modification as
Revision: 5.0
directed by the Company's Representative, the Vendor shall submit the item for
further inspection and/or test.
All repair procedures shall not be performed without the prior approval of the
Company's Representative. In the event of a defect on any item being of such a
nature that the specification requirements cannot be fulfilled by adjustment or
modification, such item shall be replaced by the Vendor, at his own expense to
the entire satisfaction of the Company's Representative.
