The final tests shall be carried out in conformity with the following classification: Type test Acceptance test Special test. All the relevant documentation, as copies of certificates, drawings, specifications, test procedures, forms filled with the test data shall be made available to the Company for review.

2.9.1.1

Type test Scope of the type test is to verify the conformity of a specific product with the normative references and with the original project. The type test shall be the responsibility of the Contractor, who shall carry out it on prototypes or specimen of the cable. Any recognition of cables similar to those object of the supply, like prototypes, shall be exclusive right of the Company, who reserves the right to require for them any test among the type ones. When the results of a test are unsatisfactory, the test shall be repeated on two specimens. If the result of this second test is unsatisfactory, even for only one of the two specimens, the complete supplyshall be rejected.

2.9.1.2.

Acceptance test Scope of the acceptance test is to ascertain, through the review of the documentation and the execution of significative tests and inspections, the conformity of the supplied cables to the technical requirements set out in the original project and to the prototype and its compliance with the Company's requirements. The acceptance test shall also reveal the existence of any material or fabrication defect. The acceptance test (individual) shall be carried out by the Contractor on all the cables to be supplied. For this purpose, the following two different test typologies are defined: Routine tests Mandatory tests on cable's specimens. a) Routine tests(on all the cables lengths ready for shipment): dimensions of conductors electric resistance of the conductor voltage and isolating resistance tests continuity test for the core, the shield and the armour of the conductors dielectric rigidity test, as per BS-6346.

b) Mandatory test on material specimens made up by cables lengths randomly selected and in the quantity specified in the Normative references. The following inspections and tests shall be carried out on the whole length, on limited sections or specimens of the cable materials: measurement of the external diameters test of the density of the insulating material and of the internal and external sheathings. dimensions of the plaited wires.

The 10% of the coils (a minimum of two) shall be extracted from the supply. the supply shall be accepted, if all the tests shall be satisfactory. the supply shall be rejected, if two or more coils shall result unsatisfactory. other two coils shall be extracted from the supply, if a single coil shall result unsatisfactory.

Of these last ones: the supply shall be accepted, if both the coils shall be satisfactory. The defective coil shall be rejected. the supply shall be rejected, if one or both the coils shall result unsatisfactory.

c) Special tests They include all the tests and inspections not included in the type or acceptance tests, and that the Company may require specifically.
