Certification and Deviation Clause Samples

The 'Certification and Deviation' clause establishes the requirements for certifying compliance with specified standards or regulations, while also outlining the process for requesting and approving deviations from those standards. In practice, this clause typically requires parties to provide formal documentation or evidence that they meet certain criteria, and it sets forth the steps for seeking permission to deviate from those requirements, such as submitting a written request and obtaining prior approval. Its core function is to ensure that all parties adhere to agreed-upon standards while providing a controlled mechanism for exceptions, thereby maintaining quality and consistency while allowing for necessary flexibility.
Certification and Deviation. Chromatograph calibration gasses shall be provided and their composition certified by an independent third party. From time to time, deviation checks shall be performed to verify the accuracy of the gas composition mole percentages and resulting calculated physical properties. Analyses of a sample of test gas of known composition resulting when procedures that are in accordance with the above mentioned standards have been applied will be considered as acceptable if the resulting calculated gross heating value is within plus or minus zero point three percent (± 0. 3%) of the known gross heating value of the test gas sample. If the deviation exceeds the tolerance stated, the gross real heating value, relative density and compressibility previously calculated will be corrected immediately. Previous analyses will be corrected to the point where the error occurred, if this can be positively identified to the satisfaction of both Parties. Otherwise it shall be assumed that the drift has been linear since the last recalibration and correction shall be based on this assumption.
