1.4 INSPECTION AND TESTS

1.4.1 General

Inspection and tests of wire and cable furnished under these specifications shall be made by and at the plant of the manufacturer. Testing in general shall comply with Section 6 of NEMA WC 57/ICEA S-73-532 or Section 6 of NEMA WC 70/ICEA S-95-658 as applicable.
