Nigam’s CTL/NABL accredited Lab.

NOTE:
If the total losses are found more than 10% of specified losses at 100% loading
(Transformer + M&P Box) then apart from rejecting the lot, firm’s balance order would be
cancelled and such firms shall not be awarded any order for one year or in next tender of
tendered rating to be opened / finalized whichever is later.
If the window height and limb centre are found more than 7.5 mm, then apart from
rejecting the lot, firm’s balance order would be cancelled and such firms shall not be awarded any
order for one year or in next tender of tendered rating to be opened / finalized whichever is
later. However, a tolerance of ± 2mm shall be allowed in window height.
No tolerance shall be allowed during CTL testing and in case any parameters which are to be
tested in CTL are found beyond guarantee parameters, the lot/ sub lot shall stand rejected.

32.3 CHALLENGE TESTING CLAUSE:

The other manufacturer who have either participated in the instant tender enquiry can
request challenge testing for tests covered in this clause based on specification &
