Common use of Test Laboratories Clause in Contracts

Test Laboratories. The Test Laboratories agree to run three lab-financed Sequence VID tests on each Matrix test stand to ensure proper test calibration. The Matrix requires two stands at each Test Laboratory. These test stands will be considered calibrated upon the successful completion of the Sequence VID Test Matrix and in compliance with calibration criteria as determined by the Sequence VI Surveillance Panel. The calibration period will begin concurrently with the effective date of ACC registration of the VID. To maintain confidentiality of pricing information, the full and final prices paid to a Matrix Lab are shown only on that Matrix Lab’s copy of this MOA and the master copy kept by API.  Intertek Automotive Research will provide to ASTM, at no charge, the pertinent data and results of 6 tests for the Sequence VID matrix. Intertek also commits to conduct 16 tests for the Sequence VID matrix at the fixed full and final price of  Southwest Research Institute will provide to ASTM, at no charge, the pertinent data and results of 6 tests for the Sequence VID matrix. Southwest Research Institute also commits to conduct 16 tests for the Sequence VID matrix at the fixed full and final price of . All tests submitted by the Test Laboratories must be operationally valid. Operational validity of engine tests will be determined by the testing laboratory using guidance from the ASTM TMC and input from the Project Supervisor using guidelines established by the ASTM Sequence VI Surveillance Panel prior to the start of the matrix. Matrix tests that are determined to be operationally invalid will be re-run at the test laboratory’s expense. The Test Laboratories are not responsible for performing any testing beyond what is stated above. Sequence VID testing will begin when the test has been formally affirmed "ready for Matrix testing" by the PCEOCP and all other conditions set forth in Scope have been met. Testing shall be conducted in accordance with the approved Test Matrix (see Attachment). The targeted completion date for the Sequence VID Test Matrix is three (3) months after its commencement date. The stands included in the Test Matrix should be used exclusively for matrix testing until the assigned tests in those stands have been completed. The commencement date is the date that the first Matrix test begins. Extension of the timing past this targeted completion date must be approved by the ILSAC/Oil Committee.
