The term "K-rating"/ "Crash rating" as mentioned in Scope of Work para 1.2.2.1.1 is derived from a specific standard which requires destructive testing. This specific standard SD-STD-02.01 does not allow "desktop design analysis" or "lab testing" only to ensure the crash rating. To prove that the materials delivered by the Contractor are according to the criteria mentioned in the scope of work, the Contractor has to conduct destructive testing to prove the crash rating as explained in the standard for K-rating, and provide certificates of conformance.
SAPMT rejects IC claim for compensation and IC is encouraged to arrange a meeting with SAPMT to close this matter as soon as possible.
