Before start-up the CONTRACTOR shall measure the illumination levels in the various areas
to check if they meet the levels required in this specification.
The required illumination level shall be based on CIE Publication 'Guide on Area Lighting'.
The CONTRACTOR shall prepare a test report about the inservice and initial illumination
levels.
All power sockets shall be tested for polarity phase sequence and loop impedance.
After testing of individual equipment/materials, functional test shall also be carried out to
confirm:
CONTRACTOR/Vendor shall carry out measurement of harmonic levels to confirm and prove
to ADWEA/ENGINEER that when all the pumps and other equipments for the project are fully
loaded, the total harmonic levels are not exceeding the specified levels. In case the values
are unacceptable to ADWEA/ENGINEER, additional approved equipment/devices shall be
installed by the CONTRACTOR/Vendor without any additional costs to the ADWEA.
Electrical work shall only be accepted after the complete newly installed electrical system is in
proper operation and all electrical equipment are working satisfactorily to the satisfactions of
ADWEA/ENGINEER.
The normal acceptance procedure shall include handing over of all records made in the
construction period such as test results, instruction manuals, "as-built" drawings etc.

The following inspection forms are included as typical examples. CONTRACTOR shall
incorporate these requirements as well any other specific requirements in suitable test forms
and submit for prior ADWEA/ENGINEER's approval before the commencement of the testing
and commissioning works. CONTRACTOR shall also submit additionally test forms for special
equipments (e.g. Frequency Converters) based on manufacturer's recommendation for
ADWEA /Engineer approval:
