The Lifting Pallet Sling Brackets Certification statement shall include that all lifting pallet sling brackets & the reinforcing gusset plates have been designed in accordance with design criteria. The NDT report shall show the results of the Magnetic particle Testing (MT) of each load bearing weld of the pallet sling bracket & the reinforcing gusset plate(s) on each rack. Failure to provide this NDT certification report could result in rejection of the system storage rack(s), because of failure to comply with the terms of the contract. Two (2) copies of the report shall be provided. Each report shall be on 8 ½” x 11” paper.

3. Non-Destructive (NDT) Testing Report/ Certification Statement.

The NDT Testing Report/ Certification Statement shall include that all lifting brackets & the reinforcing gusset plates have been properly designed in accordance with acceptable design criteria. The NDT Testing Report/Certification Statement shall state that all 120 (4 lifting points x 30 racks) lifting brackets & the reinforcing gusset plates (as a group or lot) have been tested and passed the MT inspection by a third party. Failure to provide this NDT Testing Report/ Certification Statement could result in rejection of the system storage rack(s), because of failure to comply with the terms of the contract. Two

(2) copies of the report shall be provided. Each report shall be on 8 ½” x 11” paper.

4. Warranty Statement - The warranty period shall be for one year. Supplies and services furnished shall be covered by warranty from defects in design, materials and workmanship.
