Sample with other Shop Drawings and Samples, and with the requirements of work and Contract Documents.

Each submittal shall be dated, signed, and certified by the CONTRACTOR, as being correct and in strict conformance with the Contract Documents. In the case of shop drawings, each sheet shall be so dated, signed, and certified.
