6.4. Rated Load Testing

6.4.1. General

All equipment shall be rated or unit proof tested during base year of this contract. The Contractor shall submit to the COR a list of Coast Guard equipment that requires annual rate testing, so that this list may be included in future year awards.

All required tests shall be carried out using weights as a dead load, limited to 110% of the manufacturer’s rated load for the applicable piece of equipment. However, if the configuration of the equipment presents a risk of damage to surrounding structures or systems during testing, the Contractor shall use dynamometers or other calibrated test equipment certified to equivalent accuracy in place of dead loads.

The Contractor shall ensure that accuracy is maintained, and proof loads adjusted accordingly.

6.4.2. Dynamometers

Any dynamometers or recording test equipment, owned by an accredited person meeting the requirement of 29 CFR 1919, shall have been tested for accuracy within six (6) months of the start of this contract. Such test shall be performed with calibrating equipment which has been checked in turn, so that indications are traceable to the National Bureau of Standards. The Contractor shall submit the certificate of accuracy to the COR fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the commencement of inspections.

6.4.3. Test Equipment Not Property of Accredited Person

Where test equipment is not the property of the accredited person meeting the requirements of 29 CFR 1919, that person shall not issue any certificate based upon the use of such equipment unless the owner of said equipment has made available a certificate of accuracy based on the requirements of this specification obtained within six (6) months prior to the start of this contract, and stating the errors of the equipment. The Contractor shall submit the certificate of accuracy to the COR fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the commencement of inspections.

The COR shall review the equipment with the unit and determined whether or not there is an operational need for it or if it is good enough condition to pass both an inspection and load test. After consultation with the unit, the COR shall notify the contractor if the newfound equipment needs to be added to the contract equipment list and if unfound equipment needs to be removed.

6.6. Re-inspection and Follow-on Load Tests

If during any test or inspection defined in this specification, the equipment fails to meet the reference requirements, the Contractor shall re-inspect said equipment after the Coast Guard has accomplished repair. This re-inspection shall include operational and rated load tests as required and described in this specification. Re-inspections shall be completed, within thirty (30) calendar days after notification by the Coast Guard that the equipment is ready for re-inspection. The Coast Guard will notify the Contractor of the repair by providing a “Discrepancy Repair Memorandum” which identifies how each discrepancy was addressed. If equipment was found to be deficient in a previous test or inspection, the Contractor shall not re-test or re-inspect without a signed memorandum. Re-inspections may be required up to ninety (90) calendar days after contract completion date.
