- Of a standard appropriate to the Works and suitable for the functions stated in or reasonably to be inferred from the project documents, and

- In accordance with relevant good building practice.

120 GENERAL QUALITY OF PRODUCTS:- Products to be new unless otherwise specified.- For products specified to a British or European Standard obtain certificates of compliance from

manufacturers when requested by CA.- Where a choice of manufacturer or source of supply is allowed for any particular product, the

whole quantity required to complete the work must be of the same type, manufacture and/or source unless otherwise approved. Produce written evidence of sources of supply when requested by CA.

- Ensure that the whole quantity of each product required to complete the work is of consistent kind, size, quality and overall appearance.

130 PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS:- Handle, store, prepare and use or fix each product in accordance with its manufacturer's current

printed or written recommendations/instructions. Inform CA if these conflict with any other specified requirement. Submit copies to CA when requested.

- The tender will be deemed to be based on the products specified and recommendations on their use as described in the manufacturer's literature current at date of tender.

- Where British Board of Agrement certified products are used, comply with the limitations, recommendations and requirements of the relevant valid certificates.

140 CHECKING COMPLIANCE OF PRODUCTS: Check all delivery tickets, labels, identification marks and, where appropriate, the products themselves to ensure that all products comply with the project documents. Where different types of any product are specified, check to ensure that the correct type is being used in each location. In particular, check that:

- The sources, types, qualities, finishes and colours are correct, and match any approved samples.- All accessories and fixings which should be supplied with the goods have been supplied.- Sizes and dimensions are correct. Where tolerances of components are critical, measure a

sufficient quantity to ensure compliance.- The delivered quantities are correct, to ensure that shortages do not cause delays in the work.- The products are clean, undamaged and otherwise in good condition.- Products which have a limited shelf life are not out of date.

150 PROTECTION OF PRODUCTS:- Prevent over-stressing, distortion and any other type of physical damage.- Keep clean and free from contamination. Prevent staining, chipping, scratching or other

disfigurement, particularly of products exposed to view in the finished work.- Keep dry and in a suitably low humidity atmosphere to prevent premature setting, moisture

movement and similar defects. Where appropriate store off the ground and allow free air movement around and between stored products.

- Prevent excessively high or low temperatures and rapid changes of temperature in the products.- Protect adequately from rain, damp, frost, sun and other elements as appropriate. Ensure that

products are at a suitable temperature and moisture content at time of use.- Ensure that sheds and covers are of ample size, in good weatherproof condition and well

secured.- Keep different types and grades of products separately and adequately identified.- So far as possible keep products in their original wrappings, packings or containers, until

immediately before they are used.- Wherever possible retain protective wrappings after fixing and until shortly before Practical

Completion.- Ensure that protective measures are fully compatible with and not prejudicial to the

products/materials.

- All necessary preparatory work has been carried out, including provision for services, openings, supports, fixings, damp proofing, priming and sealing.

- The environmental conditions are suitable, particularly that the building is suitably weathertight when internal components, services and finishes are installed.

170 GENERAL QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP:- Operatives must be appropriately skilled and experienced for the type and quality of work.- Take all necessary precautions to prevent damage to the work from frost, rain and other hazards.- Inspect components and products carefully before fixing or using and reject any which are

defective.- Fix or lay securely, accurately and in alignment.- Where not specified otherwise, select fixing and jointing methods and types, sizes and spacings

of fastenings in compliance with section Z20. Fastenings to comply with relevant British Standards.

- Provide suitable, tight packings at screwed and bolted fixing points to take up tolerances and prevent distortion. Do not overtighten fixings.

- Adjust location and fixing of components and products so that joints which are to be finished with mortar or sealant or otherwise left open to view are even and regular.

- Ensure that all moving parts operate properly and freely. Do not cut, grind or plane prefinished components and products to remedy binding or poor fit without approval.

190 WATER FOR THE WORKS: Clean and uncontaminated. If other than mains supply is proposed provide evidence of suitability. Test to BS 3148 if instructed.

SAMPLES/APPROVALS

210 APPROVAL OF PRODUCTS: Where approval of a product is specified the requirement for approval relates to a sample of the product and not to the product as used in the Works. Submit a sample or other evidence of suitability. Do not confirm orders or use the product until approval of the sample has been obtained. Retain approved sample in good, clean condition on site. Ensure that the product used in the Works matches the approved sample.

220 SAMPLES OF FINISHED WORK: Where a sample of finished work is specified for approval, the requirement for approval relates to the sample itself (if approval of the finished work as a whole is required this is specified separately). Obtain approval of the stated characteristic(s) of the sample before proceeding with the Works. Retain approved sample in good, clean condition on site. Ensure that the relevant characteristic(s) of the Works match the approved characteristic(s) of the sample. Remove samples which are not part of the finished Works when no longer required.

230 APPROVALS: Where and to the extent that products or work are specified to be approved or the CA instructs or requires that they are to be approved, the same must be supplied and executed to comply with all other requirements and in respect of the stated or implied characteristics either:

- To the express approval of the CA or- To match a sample expressly approved by the CA as a standard for the purpose.

240 APPROVALS: Inspection or any other action by the CA must not be taken as approval of products or work unless the CA so confirms in writing in express terms referring to:

322 SETTING OUT: Inform CA when overall setting out is complete and before commencing construction.

340 APPEARANCE AND FIT:- Arrange the setting out, erection, juxtaposition of components and application of finishes (working

within the practical limits of the design and the specification) to ensure that there is satisfactory fit at junctions, that there are no practically or visually unacceptable changes in plane, line or level and that the finished work has a true and regular appearance.

- Wherever satisfactory accuracy, fit and/or appearance of the work are likely to be critical or difficult to achieve, obtain approval of proposals or of the appearance of the relevant aspects of the partially finished work as early as possible.

- Without prejudice to the above and unless specified otherwise, tolerances will (where applicable) be not greater than those given in BS 5606, Tables 1 and 2.
