Acceptance, Startup and Testing Clause Samples
The 'Acceptance, Startup and Testing' clause defines the procedures and criteria for verifying that a delivered product, system, or service meets the agreed-upon specifications before it is formally accepted by the buyer. This clause typically outlines the steps for initial startup, the testing protocols to be followed, and the responsibilities of each party during these phases. For example, it may require the supplier to demonstrate system functionality under real operating conditions and allow the buyer to conduct their own tests. Its core function is to ensure that the delivered goods or services perform as expected before final acceptance, thereby reducing the risk of defects or non-conformance after delivery.
