GUARANTEE PERIOD
Each installation contract will include a guarantee or warranty clause. It must specify a
period of at least one year, after acceptance, during which the installation contractor is
responsible for repairing and replacing, without charge, all cable or equipment failures
resulting from poor work performance or defective materials and equipment. System
failure can occur within months after installation due to faulty installation practices.

VISUAL EXAMINATION
Thorough visual inspections are the most important of all inspection and test
procedures. Visual inspections must be made frequently during installation, at
completion of installation, and before energizing the circuits. A careful visual inspection
will reveal defects that should be corrected before acceptance tests and energizing.
Serious damage may occur if defects are subjected to electrical tests or energizing.
Visual inspections will include: correctness of external connections, good workmanship,
cleanliness, safety hazards., and specific requirements for individual items. All
equipment manufactured under specifications pass strict factory tests before shipment,
but it must be inspected for shipping damage immediately upon receipt.
