SECTION 01215 <br /> GENERAL QUALITY CONTROL <br /> 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS <br /> A. Definitions: Specific quality control requirements for the work are indicated <br /> throughout the Contract Documents. The requirements of this section are <br /> primarily related to the performance of the work beyond the furnishing of <br /> manufactured products. The term "Quality Control" includes, but is not <br /> necessarily limited to, inspection and testing and associated requirements. <br /> This section does not specify or modify the OWNER and ENGINEER duties <br /> relating to quality review and Contract surveillance. <br /> 1.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSPECTIONS AND TESTS <br /> A. Residual OWNER Responsibility: The OWNER will employ and pay for the <br /> services of independent testing laboratories to perform those required <br /> inspections and tests. <br /> B. CONTRACTORS General Responsibility: No failure of test agencies, whether <br /> engaged by the OWNER or CONTRACTOR, to perform adequate inspections <br /> of tests or to properly analyze or report results, shall relieve the <br /> CONTRACTOR of responsibility for the fulfillment of the requirements of the <br /> Contract Documents. It is recognized that the required inspection and testing <br /> program is intended to assist the CONTRACTOR, OWNER, ENGINEER, and <br /> governing authorities in the nominal determination of probable compliance with <br /> requirements for certain crucial elements of work. The program is not intended <br /> to limit the CONTRACTOR in his regular quality control program, as needed <br /> for general assurance of compliance. <br /> 1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br /> A. General Workmanship Standards: It is a requirement that each category of <br /> tradesman or installer performing the work be pre-qualified, to the extent of being <br /> familiar with the applicable and recognized quality standards for his category of <br /> work, and being capable of workmanship complying with those standards. <br /> 1.4 PRODUCT DELIVERY-STORAGE-HANDLING <br /> Handle, store and protect materials and products, including fabricated components, by <br /> methods and means which will prevent damage, deterioration and losses (and resulting <br /> delays), thereby ensuring highest quality results as the performance of the work <br /> progresses.
