In case of failure of first oil sample, second oil sample from same/another transformer in the same offered lot, shall be drawn by firm in presence of Inspector of DGVCL at the request of firm after filtration/replacement of oil from all transformers of offered lot and same shall be tested at ERDA at the cost of firm. The cost of deputing DGVCL Inspector for drawing the second oil sample at firm’s works shall be reimbursed by firm of DGVCL. In the event of failure of second oil sample, the whole lot offered from which sample have been drawn and failed will be rejected. The supplier shall maintain the register for the oil consumption and for this they have to show the challan or bill of the supplier of oil. The Inspector of DGVCL shall verify the record as well the quantity physically available in the factory at the time of drawing the oil samples and shall put his signature in the register. 6.6 TOLERANCES: Unless otherwise specified herein the test value of the transformers supplied would be within the tolerance permitted in the relevant standards.

The challenge test could be conducted at NABL accredited laboratory, like ERDA and CPRI Bhopal. If the values are within limit the product gets confirmed else not confirmed. No positive tolerance in losses be permitted. If the product is not confirmed the manufacturer would pay the challenge fee and challenger would get the fee refunded. However as a redressal system the challenger would be allowed to ask for fresh testing of two more samples from the store and the same be tested in NABL laboratory in presence of party challenged, challenger and the utility. If any one or both sample does not confirm the test then the product is said to have failed the test. In such cases the manufacturer will be declared as un successful manufacturer for the said product with wide publicity and would not be allowed to compete in tenders of the Board for the period of three years and heavy penalty would be imposed. 13.0.
