Initial Product Inspection. Before UL Solutions Contracting Party authorizes Client to apply any Mark to any Product, UL Solutions Contracting Party reserves the right to conduct an Initial Production Inspection (“IPI”) to determine whether a sample or samples of the Product from the production line conform to the applicable Requirements. The IPI is intended to evaluate whether each Manufacturer of a Product that is eligible for Service is, at the time of the IPI, producing the Product in accordance with the requirements of the Procedure, commencing with the very first production run. Client acknowledges and agrees that the Manufacturer(s) of the Product must demonstrate to UL Solutions Contracting Party’s satisfaction that the Manufacturer(s) is/are producing, and intend/s to produce, the Product in accordance with the Service Agreement, including, but not limited to, the applicable Procedure referenced in Paragraph B.1. Client further agrees that the Manufacturer(s) shall establish and maintain a quality control program of inspection and testing of manufactured Product(s) in order to ensure that Products bearing any Mark, or that have been issued a Certificate of Conformance conform at all times to the applicable Requirements.
