The claims being made by IC were rejected in letter No L-666/14 because they did not have any base, but it does not mean that all previous remarks have become null and void.

SAPMT shall not accept any materials on site if they do not meet the standards given in the scope and IC has the responsibility to prove that such standards have been achieved with appropriate testing according to the quality requirements of the project. K-rating is not a standard that can be proven merely by design, because the ratings are derived from a standard which requires testing. SCEC, the project designer, if agrees to ensure K-rating without testing then SAPMT shall re-evaluate such designs and statements made by SCEC and reconsider assigning such tasks in future to SCEC as well as ICC. 

It is futher stated that all other products in the project which require quality to be met to certian standards or ratings shall not be accepted on site unless they carry test certifications to prove adherance with standards. Design calculations alone shall not be accepted when products require crash rating or fire rating etc according to insudtry norms.

This ends the discussion on the subject as IC is continuously disregarding its contractual obligations and making statements which amount to denial of various conditions mentioned in the contract. IC has the right to make such claims directly to the Contracting department if IC chooses to do so.
