Start-Up Testing Clause Samples

The Start-Up Testing clause defines the procedures and requirements for testing a system, equipment, or facility after installation but before it is put into full operation. Typically, this clause outlines the specific tests to be performed, the standards or criteria for successful completion, and the responsibilities of each party during the testing phase. For example, it may require the contractor to demonstrate that all systems function as intended under normal operating conditions. The core purpose of this clause is to ensure that the delivered product meets contractual specifications and is ready for safe and effective use, thereby reducing the risk of defects or operational failures after handover.

After completion of preparation work, the Company may conduct start-up tests of the relevant Discrete Element.
