(3) Dismantling and reassembling charges will be borne by the supplier. However
minor facilities such as drying oven , oil filters, cranes etc., needed for conducting
the strip test and subsequent reassembly by the supplier shall be provided by the
consignee Superintending Engineers free of cost.

QUALITY PLAN:

Stage inspection will be carried out by the purchaser's representative at the

following consumer's hold points.

(d) On completion of core & winding assembly

(e) After fabrication of tank

At the time of these inspections, the raw materials such as core sheets,
winding conductor, insulating paper, oil and M.S.Plate will be verified for quality, by
scrutiny of the documentary evidences for the purchase of these materials from the
standard manufacturers and along with the test certificates.

15 days advance intimation should be given for arranging these inspection.
