ROUTINE TESTS a) The routine tests must be conducted on the complete system to prove quality of manufacture and conformance with the relevant performance requirements of the applicable standards. Splitting of routine tests into separate phases for individual components of the system is not acceptable. Routine testing must be performed at the manufacturers works before delivery. d) Procedures for routine tests with supporting documentation must be submitted to Transend for approval and acceptance. Routine tests will not be conducted unless the routine test procedures have been accepted and approved by Transend. d) Routine test results and certificates must be submitted to Transend for approval and acceptance. Routine tests will not be considered as completed only after Transend approves and accepts the test results. e) f) Routine factory test results must be approved and accepted by Transend before dispatch of equipment to site. As a minimum, the tests stated below must be conducted.
