Common use of Joint Testing Clause in Contracts

Joint Testing. Joint Testing allows CLEC to request CenturyLink to participate in Joint Testing of CLEC terminations at the Interconnection Distribution Frame (ICDF). CLEC may request Joint Testing on the Collocation Application form or by sending a separate Joint Testing Application form. Collocation and Joint Testing Application forms are available in the PCAT. CLEC must specify on its application the terminations to be tested and the type of tests to be performed with CenturyLink. CLEC must provide contact information on the application for CenturyLink to arrange the Joint Testing date and time. Once CLEC has completed its installation work and is ready for testing, CLEC formally requests Joint Testing via e-mail to XXXXXX@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. Upon receipt of request CenturyLink and CLEC will promptly meet and agree upon a date to perform Joint Testing, which shall take place no later than thirty (30) Days after the request. 8.2.1.31.1 CenturyLink will only test between CLEC Collocation and the ICDF once CLEC equipment is in place. Joint Testing is only available for the terminations identified on the Collocation Application or Joint Testing Application. If CLEC wants additional terminations tested that are not identified on its initial application, CLEC will need to complete a new Joint Testing Application. 8.2.1.31.2 Each Party will provide appropriate test equipment for its technicians. CenturyLink will assist CLEC in conducting continuity tests on terminations at the ICDF. CenturyLink will not operate CLEC test equipment. If errors are found during the Joint Testing, CenturyLink will only repair CenturyLink network faults. CLEC is responsible for replacement or repair of CLEC-provided facilities. 8.2.1.31.3 If during the scheduled Joint Testing, the CenturyLink-caused error rate is more than two percent (2%) on the terminations identified for testing, CenturyLink will not charge for this Joint Testing. If there are less than two percent (2%) errors found or if the errors found are facility errors on CLEC provided facilities, CenturyLink will charge for the Joint Testing. One (1) pair is counted as two (2) terminations and errors are counted on a one (1) termination basis. If CLEC requests that the charges be waived because CenturyLink errors are found during Joint Testing, CenturyLink may access CLEC's Collocation space to identify if the facility cabling sequence is correct, per applicable standards. CLEC may review CenturyLink facility cabling at the ICDF to verify the cable sequence, per applicable standards.
