Validation Sampling and Testing Sample Clauses

Validation Sampling and Testing. A. During the start-up operations, split samples shall be performed by the Engineer on category Level 1 or Level 2 materials in the Design-Build QAP. B. The Engineer shall perform tests and analyze 50% of split sample results against split sample tolerance limits to align the laboratory operation. C. For tests listed as ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, the Engineer shall observe and review the CQAF's initial start-up testing operations. D. The remaining 50% of the OV testing shall be of random-independent samples such that statistical validation of the independent QA test results using F- and t-test analyses shall be performed by the Engineer to validate the QA test results. E. The Engineer shall analyze all split sample results, in each appropriate analysis category, using continuous paired t-test analyses at the level of significance (a} shown in the table in the Design-Build QAP, Appendix D. F. For those material and analysis categories that do not validate during and after start-up operations, the Engineer shall determine the cause(s) of the non-validation and shall take appropriate corrective actions to align the sampling and testing operations. G. The "start-up" period is defined as the Engineer performing an OV test each time the CQAF performs a QA test until initial validation between OV and QA can be attained and upon beginning a new construction material or product as listed in designated tables in Appendix D of the Design-Build QAP, even if a particular test had been previously validated on another material or product; and until initial validation between OV and QA can be attained. Upon completion of the start-up period, the Engineer shall perform tests at a rate consistent with Appendix D in the project specific Design-Build QAP. 1. Level 1 Tests: F & t-test and Split Samples a. F- and t- Tests: After the start-up period, the Engineer shall perform continuous F- and t-test analyses on Level 1 tests with the OV testing frequency at approximately ten percent of the QA testing frequency. This frequency is subject to the adjustment required based on the results of validation history and quarterly risk analysis and approval by the State and FHWA. The continuous analysis shall be performed based on the protocol established by the State I2MS or other approved programs. b. In addition to taking the random independent QA samples and tests, the Engineer shall witness a minimum of 10% of DocuSign Envelope ID: 9BF3DE33-16CA-476B-8CBE-C7CD5274F917 the samples and tests by the CQAF...

  • Inspection and Testing Each Constructing Entity shall cause inspection and testing of the Interconnection Facilities that it constructs in accordance with the provisions of this section. The Construction Parties acknowledge and agree that inspection and testing of facilities may be undertaken as facilities are completed and need not await completion of all of the facilities that a Constructing Entity is building.

  • Inspection and Tests 3.8.1 The Procuring entity or its representative shall have the right to inspect and/or to test the goods to confirm their conformity to the Contract specifications. The Procuring entity shall notify the tenderer in writing in a timely manner, of the identity of any representatives retained for these purposes. 3.8.2 The inspections and tests may be conducted in the premises of the tenderer or its subcontractor(s), at point of delivery, and/or at the Goods’ final destination If conducted on the premises of the tenderer or its subcontractor(s), all reasonable facilities and assistance, including access to drawings and production data, shall be furnished to the inspectors at no charge to the Procuring entity. 3.8.3 Should any inspected or tested goods fail to conform to the Specifications, the Procuring entity may reject the equipment, and the tenderer shall either replace the rejected equipment or make alterations necessary to make specification requirements free of costs to the Procuring entity. 3.8.4 The Procuring entity’s right to inspect, test and where necessary, reject the goods after the Goods’ arrival shall in no way be limited or waived by reason of the equipment having previously been inspected, tested and passed by the Procuring entity or its representative prior to the equipment delivery. 3.8.5 Nothing in paragraph 3.8 shall in any way release the tenderer from any warranty or other obligations under this Contract.

  • Inspections and Tests 26.1 The Supplier shall at its own expense and at no cost to the Procuring Entity carry out all such tests and/or inspections of the Goods and Related Services as are specified in the SCC. 26.2 The inspections and tests may be conducted on the premises of the Supplier or its Subcontractor, at point of delivery, and/or at the Goods' final destination, or in another place in Kenya as specified in the SCC. Subject to GCC Sub-Clause 26.3, if conducted on the premises of the Supplier or its Subcontractor, all reasonable facilities and assistance, including access to drawings and production data, shall be furnished to the inspectors at no charge to the Procuring Entity. 26.3 The Procuring Entity or its designated representative shall be entitled to attend the tests and/or inspections referred to in GCC Sub-Clause 26.2, provided that the Procuring Entity bear all of its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with such attendance including, but not limited to, all travelling and board and lodging expenses. 26.4 Whenever the Supplier is ready to carry out any such test and inspection, it shall give a reasonable advance notice, including the place and time, to the Procuring Entity. The Supplier shall obtain from any relevant third party or manufacturer any necessary permission or consent to enable the Procuring Entity or its designated representative to attend the test and/or inspection. 26.5 The Procuring Entity may require the Supplier to carry out any test and/or inspection not required by the Contract but deemed necessary to verify that the characteristics and performance of the Goods comply with the technical specifications codes and standards under the Contract, provided that the Supplier's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the carrying out of such test and/or inspection shall be added to the Contract Price. Further, if such test and/or inspection impedes the progress of manufacturing and/or the Supplier's performance of its other obligations under the Contract, due allowance will be made in respect of the Delivery Dates and Completion Dates and the other obligations so affected. 26.6 The Supplier shall provide the Procuring Entity with a report of the results of any such test and/or inspection. 26.7 The Procuring Entity may reject any Goods or any part thereof that fail to pass any test and/or inspection or do not conform to the specifications. The Supplier shall either rectify or replace such rejected Goods or parts thereof or make alterations necessary to meet the specifications at no cost to the Procuring Entity, and shall repeat the test and/or inspection, at no cost to the Procuring Entity, upon giving a notice pursuant to GCC Sub- Clause 26.4. 26.8 The Supplier agrees that neither the execution of a test and/or inspection of the Goods or any part thereof, nor the attendance by the Procuring Entity or its representative, nor the issue of any report pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 26.6, shall release the Supplier from any warranties or other obligations under the Contract.
