The claims being made by IC were rejected in SAPMT letter No L-666/14 because they did not have any base and it does not mean that all previous correspondence becomes null and void. Refer to letter no. K&TPD/KRP&SFPD/SF/L-400/14, 315/13 & 289/13 on the subject. 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.
It is further stated that all other materials for the project which require quality to be met to certain standards or ratings shall not be accepted on site unless they carry test certifications to prove adherence with standards. Design calculations alone shall not be accepted when products require crash rating or fire rating etc. according to industry norms.

Should you have any questions, please contact Sohail Moughal, Project Engineer at Tel No. +966 12 422-4570.
