(e) The Contractor must undertake rectification of defects and deficiencies in the Contractor's
installation or repair as soon as practicable. The Contractor is responsible to schedule such repairs
at its own risk.
(f) The Contractor must reschedule unsatisfactory inspections after any required repairs have been
completed.
(g) Quality Control, Inspection and Test records that substantiate conformance to the specified
requirements, including records of corrective actions, must be retained by the Contractor for three
(3) years from the date of completion or termination of the Contract and must be made available
to the Contracting Authority and to the Inspection Authority upon request.

Inspection and Trials Process
3.1
Drawings and Purchase Orders
(a) Upon receipt of two (2) copies of each drawing or purchase order, the designated Inspection
Authority will review its content against the provisions of the TSOR. Where discrepancies are
noted, the Inspection Authority will formally advise all concerned, in writing using a Discrepancy
Notice. The resolution of any such discrepancy is a matter for consultation between the
Contractor and other Government of Canada Authorities.
3.2
Inspection
(a) Upon receipt and acceptance of the Contractor's ITP, inspection will consist of a number of
Inspection Points supplemented by such other inspections, tests, demonstrations and trials as may
be deemed necessary by the Inspection Authority to permit him to certify that the work has been
performed in compliance with the provisions of the specification. The Contractor must be
responsible for notifying the designated Inspection Authority of when the work will be available
for inspection, sufficiently in advance to permit the designated Inspection Authority to arrange for
the appropriate inspection.
(b) The Inspection Authority will inspect the materials, equipment and work throughout the
project against the provisions of the specification and, where non-conformances are noted, will
issue appropriate INSPECTION NON-CONFORMANCE REPORTS.
(c) The Contract requires the implementation of a Quality Assurance/Quality Control system, so
the Inspection authority must require that the Contractor provide a copy of its internal inspection
report pertaining to a work item before conducting the requested inspection. If third party
inspections are required by the Contract (e.g. inspections by a certified CWB 178.2 welding
inspector), the reports of these inspections must be required before the Work is inspected by the
Inspection Authority.
(d) The QA/QC system is a requirement, so if the documentation is presented to the Inspection
Authority before an inspection stating that the Work is satisfactory but the Inspection Authority
finds that the Work has not been satisfactorily inspected, the Inspection Authority must issue an
Inspection Non-conformance Report against the Work and another against the failure of the
Contractor's QA/QC system.
(e) Before carrying out any inspection, the Inspection Authority must review the requirements for
the Work and the acceptance and/or rejection standards to be applied. Where more than one
standard or requirement is called up and they are potentially conflicting, the Inspection Authority
must refer to the order of precedence in the Contract to determine the standard or requirement to
be applied.
3.3
Inspection Non-conformance report
(a) An Inspection Non-conformance report will be issued for each non-conformance noted by the
Inspection Authority. Each report will be uniquely numbered for reference purposes, will be
signed and dated by the Inspection Authority, and will describe the non-conformance.
(b) When the non-conformance has been corrected by the Contractor and has been re-inspected
and accepted by the Inspection Authority, the Inspection Authority will complete the Report by
adding an applicable signed and dated notation.
(c) At the end of the project, the content of all Inspection Non-conformance Reports which have
not been signed-off by the Inspection Authority will be transferred to the Acceptance documents
before the Inspection Authority's certification of such documents.
3.4
Tests, Trials, and Demonstrations
(a) To enable the Inspection Authority to certify that the Work has been performed satisfactorily,
in accordance with the Contract and specifications, the Contractor must schedule, co-ordinate,
perform, and record all specified tests, trials and demonstrations required by the Inspection
Authority and the Specifications and any additional tests and trials performed by the Contractor
required by the Inspection Authority.
(b) Where the specifications contain a specific performance requirement for any component,
equipment, sub-system or system, the Contractor must test such component, equipment,
sub-system or system to the satisfaction of the Inspection Authority, to prove that the specified
performance has been achieved and that the component, equipment, sub-system or system
performs as required by the specifications.
(c) Tests, trials and demonstrations must be conducted in accordance with a logical, systematic
schedule which must ensure that all associated components and equipment are proven before
sub-systems demonstration or testing, and that sub-systems are proven before system
demonstration or testing.
(d) Where the Specifications do not contain specific performance requirements for any
component, equipment, sub-system or system, the Contractor must demonstrate such component,
equipment, sub-system or system to the satisfaction of the Inspection Authority.
(e) The Contractor must co-ordinate each test, trial and demonstration with all interested parties,
including the Inspection, Contracting and Technical Authorities; regulatory authorities;
Classification Society; Sub-contractors; etc. The Contractor must provide the Inspection
Authority and other Government of Canada Authorities with a minimum of ten (10) working days
notice of each scheduled test, trial, or demonstration.
(f) The Contractor must keep written records of all tests, trials, and demonstrations conducted
required by the QA System.
(g) The Contractor must in all respects be responsible for the conduct of all tests and trials in
accordance with the requirements of the Contract.
(h) The Contracting Authority and the Inspection/Technical Authority reserve the right to defer
starting or continuing with any sea trials for any reasonable cause including but not limited to
adverse weather, visibility, equipment failure or degradation, lack of qualified personnel and
inadequate compliance with safety standards.
