SECTION-GENERAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS (GTR)
ANNEXURE-A
CORONA AND RADIO INTERFERENCE VOLTAGE (RIV) TEST
1. General
Unless otherwise stipulated, all equipment together with its associated connectors,
where applicable, shall be tested for external corona (for 400kV & above) both by
observing the voltage level for the extinction of visible corona under falling power
frequency voltage and by measurement of radio interference voltage (RIV) for 132kV
and above.
2. Test Levels:
The test voltage levels for measurement of external RIV and for corona extinction
voltage are listed under the relevant clauses of the specification.
3. Test Methods for RIV:
3.1 RIV tests shall be made according to measuring circuit as per International Special-
Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) Publication 16-1(1993) Part -1. The
measuring circuit shall preferably be tuned to frequency with 10% of 0.5 Mhz but
other frequencies in the range of 0.5 MHz to 2 MHz may be used, the measuring
frequency being recorded. The results shall be in microvolts.
3.2 Alternatively, RIV tests shall be carried out in accordance with relevant IEC of
respective equipment or NEMA standard Publication No. 107-1964.
3.3 In measurement of, RIV, temporary additional external corona shielding may be
provided. In measurements of RIV only standard fittings of identical type supplied
with the equipment and a simulation of the connections as used in the actual
installation will be permitted in the vicinity within 3.5 meters of terminals.
3.4 Ambient noise shall be measured before and after each series of tests to ensure that
there is no variation in ambient noise level. If variation is present, the lowest ambient
noise level will form basis for the measurements. RIV levels shall be measured at
increasing and decreasing voltages of 85%, 100%, and 110% of the specified RIV test
voltage for all equipment unless otherwise specified. The specified RIV test voltage for
765kV, 400 kV, 220 KV is listed in the detailed specification together with maximum
permissible RIV level in microvolts.
3.5 The metering instruments shall be as per CISPR recommendation or equivalent device
so long as it has been used by other testing authorities.
3.6 The RIV measurement may be made with a noise meter. A calibration procedure of the
frequency to which noise meter shall be tuned shall establish the ratio of voltage at the
high voltage terminal to voltage read by noise meter.
4. Test Methods for Visible Corona
The purpose of this test is to determine the corona extinction voltage of apparatus,
connectors etc. The test shall be carried out in the same manner as RIV test described
above with the exception that RIV measurements are not required during test and a
search technique shall be used near the onset and extinction voltage, when the test
voltage is raised and lowered to determine their precise values. The test voltage shall
be raised to 110% of specified corona extinction voltage and maintained there for five
minutes. In case corona inception does not take place at 110%, test shall be stopped,

1124944/2022/TBG-TBG_PE
ANNEXURE-A
otherwise test shall be continued and the voltage will then be decreased slowly until
all visible corona disappears. The procedure shall be repeated at least 3 times with
corona inception and extinction voltage recorded each time. The corona extinction
voltage for purposes of determining compliance with the specification shall be the
lowest of the three values at which visible corona (negative or positive polarity)
disappears.
The test to determine the visible corona extinction voltage need not be carried out
simultaneously with test to determine RIV levels.
However, both test shall be carried out with the same test set up and as little time
duration between tests as possible. No modification on treatment of the sample
between tests will be allowed. Simultaneous RIV and visible corona extinction voltage
will not prejudice other test
5. Test Records:
In addition to the information previously mentioned and the requirements specified as
per CISPR or NEMA 107-1964 the following data shall be included in test report:
a) Background noise before and after test.
b) Detailed procedure of application of test voltage.
c) Measurements of RIV levels expressed in micro volts at each level.
d) Results and observations with regard to location and type of interference
sources detected at each step.
e) Test voltage shall be recorded when measured RIV passes through 100
microvolts in each direction.
f) Onset and extinction of visual corona for each of the four tests required shall be
recorded.

18 | P a g e
iv. The Government Buyers may ascertain the reasonableness of prices before
placement of order using the Business Analytics (BA) tools available on GeM
including the Last Purchase Price on GeM, Department’s own Last Purchase
Price etc.
v. GFR rule 149 allows direct on-line purchases on GeM up to Rs. 25,000/-
through any of the available suppliers on the GeM, meeting the requisite quality,
specification and delivery period. However this is subject to procuring
authorities certifying the reasonability of rates. While making such direct
on-line purchase below Rs. 25,000/-, the buyer should have approval of
competent authority and should also record reasons for selecting the
specific product in case lowest priced products are not being accepted /
ordered.
vi. Tools have been deployed on GeM portal to show the price of compared
products on other e-commerce sites (wherever available) and also the rates at
which orders have been placed on GeM for such items in recent past. While
taking decision on reasonableness of price, the buyers may also take into
account the discount over MRP; Last Purchase Price on GeM, Department’s
own Last Purchase Price; rates on other e-commerce websites etc. The prices
on e-commerce site give a broad idea and its terms and conditions may be
different. If it is found that the price available on GeM marketplace is not
reasonable or is substantially higher than e- commerce sites or LPP, the GeM
Portal provides tools for online bidding or reverse auction which can be used by
the Buyers to get better competitive rates and then satisfy themselves about
reasonableness of the price as per GFR -2017 before placement of contract.
Bidding should be considered as the preferred mode of procurement above Rs.
25,000/-.
vii. In case of Direct Purchase, during carting period, rates for carted quantity, for

buyer.
viii. According to the provisions of Rule 149 (ii) of GFR, 2017, GeM shall be
utilized by Government buyers for direct on-line purchases above Rs. 25,000/-
and up to Rs. 5,00,000/- however such purchase has to be through the Seller
having the lowest price (L-1) amongst the available Sellers on the GeM. In order
to ensure that buyers select only L-1 available offer, the GeM portal enables
buyer to first compare all the product options available on GeM to ensure that it
meets its requirements/ specifications. While comparing, care should be taken
by the Buyer that comparison has to be done between products of at least three
different Manufacturers / OEMs. For L-1 buying, comparison has to be made
between products of at least three different OEMs, as per GFR. If Buyer wants
to buy any specific OEM’s product then he has to go for Proprietary Article
Certificate (PAC) buying after obtaining necessary approvals of competent
19 | P a g e
authorities for PAC buying as per GFR-2017, as amended from time to time or
the Procurement Guidelines of the respective Organisation as the case may be.
ix. Proprietary Article Certificate (PAC) Buying: While making procurement

under PAC Buying on GeM, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that
compliances with the conditions / rules as laid down under GFR, 2017, as
amended from time to time or the Procurement Guidelines of the respective
Organisation as the case may be is met before initiating procurement under
PAC:
(a) In case a Govt. Buyer on GeM wants to make procurement on proprietary basis
on the GeM Portal after obtaining the requisite approvals / PAC certificate from their
competent authority as per Rule 166 of GFR-2017 or the Procurement Guidelines of
the respective Organisation as the case may be, the Buyer can use PAC filter
provided on GeM for selecting a specific model/ make available from a particular
GeM Seller. The Buyer should ensure before procuring the goods under PAC Buying
that the Proprietary Article Certificate as per the conditions laid down in GFR or the
Procurement Guidelines of the respective Organisation as the case may be is
available with the Buyer. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure compliance
with GFR or the Procurement Guidelines of the respective Organisation while
procuring goods on proprietary basis through the GeM Portal including ensuring the
certificate to be in proper format as per GFR or the Procurement Guidelines of the
respective Organisation as the case may be.
(b) The Buyer should note that the Seller’s price on the Portal is just their offer prices
and the proper discovery of price generally happens through bidding/RA. Moreover,
in PAC procurement irrespective of multiple listing by authorised sellers, the
important issue of price control remaining with the OEM should not be overlooked.
Therefore, in case of all the PAC procurements, the Buyers are advised to carry out
extra due diligence in establishing the reasonableness of prices before placement of
contract as per Para (vii) of Rule -149 of GFR-2017 or the Procurement Guidelines
of the respective Organisation as the case may be.
(c) Except for direct buying up to Rs. 25,000/- subject to establishing the
reasonableness of price, the bidding is mandatory for procurements above Rs.
25,000/- as per GFR. As result of bidding, the response could be as under:
i. Only OEM is available or only single authorised seller is available.

ii. OEM as well as multiple authorised Sellers are available.
iii. Multiple authorised Sellers of the OEM are available.
(d) After bidding, under PAC buying, the Buyer may take decision with the
approval of the competent authority to process the procurement subject to
establishing the reasonableness of prices before placement of contract as per
Para (vii) of Rule - 149 of GFR-2017 or the Procurement Guidelines of the
respective Organisation as the case may be.
110 | P a g
e
x. In order to give flexibility to the buyers in sourcing their requirements through
GeM, provision has been made in e-bid and RA modules for indicating
delivery period in terms of “number of days from date of placement of
contract”. While stipulating delivery period in their bid documents, Buyers are
advised to be careful since un-realistic delivery period stipulations may result in
elimination of some genuine sellers, lack of competition and may ultimately have
impact on cost of procurement. While fixing delivery period in e-bid/ RA bid,
buyers should not only take into consideration the quantity required and the
essentiality of requirement of that quantity within stipulated time period but also
the possible impact of shorter delivery period on competition in e-bidding / RA.
xi. Splitting of demands by creating multiple Bids / RAs of same goods / services
or making repeated procurements of same Goods / Services through L-1
buying as per rule 149(i) and 149(ii) of GFR-2017 are strictly prohibited on
GeM. Splitting of demand deprives the organizations from achieving the best
competitive prices leveraging economies of scale. It also implies avoiding the
necessity of obtaining the sanction of higher authority required with reference
to the estimated value of the total demand. It is a violation of Para Rule 149 (viii)
of GFR -2017 and terms and conditions of GeM Portal and Buyer including
the Primary Buyer shall be entirely responsible for the same. If any such
splitting of demand is noticed, GeM shall have the right to take necessary action
such as blocking of such Bids/RAs and / or cancelling such contracts.
xii. GeM is a dynamic online marketplace. The product/service listings across the
existing categories are dynamic. Moreover, new categories of products/services
are continuously being added on GeM. In situations where there is only one offer
available in a product/ service category and/or there is offer from only one Seller
after filter based search, the buyer should not select such offer for buying.
Efforts should be made by Buyer to get their past suppliers and prospective
Sellers on-boarded on GeM so as to ensure availability of sufficient Sellers on
GeM. This however will not apply for PAC procurement.
xiii. e-Bidding and Reverse Auction (RA) on GeM
(a) The e-Bidding / RA module of GeM is a tool provided to the

Buyer(s) for organizing bidding / RA from GeM Sellers of the
particular product category for a pre-defined requirement i.e.
quantity, technical parameters for Goods/ Services of the particular
product category required for one or more Buyers / Consignees.
(b) Prior to initiating e-Bidding / RA, the Buyer shall judiciously

search and shortlist item among the items offered on GeM using
filters such as quantity, technical parameters, warranty period,
consignee location(s) etc. as per the requirement. In case the
search made using actual quantity required, fails to identify
sufficient offers, the Buyer may use an indicative quantity for
initial search and selection of product and quantity may be
111 | P a g
e
amended to match the actual requirement at the time of finalizing
e-Bidding / RA.
(c) The technical parameters and warranty of the item identified by
the Buyer shall be base parameters of the item for conducting e-
Bidding / RA for the required Goods/Services.
(d) The e-Bidding / RA document will be finalized by the Buyer(s)
by stipulating requirements such as Quantity, Consignee
Details, Terms of Delivery, Delivery Period, EMD, Performance
Bank Guarantee, Time & Date for Start and End of Bid
Submission and for Opening of Bids and required Bid Validity
period etc. GeM system shall decide Start / Reference Price and
Step Value of Decrement in case of RA based on product
selection and / or outcome of bidding process.
(e) The e-Bidding / RA invitation / Notice shall be published on
GEM, stipulating the last date for bid submission / opening of
bids giving at least clear 10 days time after the publication. Any
change in last date for bid submission will be intimated to eligible
bidders through e-mail / GeM. The e-Bidding invitation shall be
extended to all the registered Sellers on GeM who have
Goods / Services for that particular category listed on GeM,
at least 2 hours prior to closing time of e-Bidding / RA. The
GeM normally requires 48 hrs for approval / rejection of the
product / service offered by Sellers before it is listed on the
portal. Considering these time lines, the Sellers are required to
offer their Goods / Services on GeM well in advance before bid
closure. The decision of the Buyer/GeM regarding
technical/commercial eligibility of the individual Seller to be
invited for e-Bidding / RA shall be final.
(f) The Seller participating in the e-bidding / RA may offer any one
of their product(s) already listed on GeM. The bid submitted
under e-Bidding / RA shall remain valid for 15 days (or as
stipulated by the Buyer in the bid document) from the Bid

extended with mutual consent between Buyer and Seller. The
products offered in e-Bidding / RA can not be withdrawn by the
Sellers from GeM during the bid validity period. The Buyer
reserves the right to postpone/cancel the e-bidding and intimation
thereof will be sent by e-mail / GeM to the Bidders. Any
amendment / corrigendum to the e-bid invitation issued by the
Buyer will be made online and shall be uploaded on the GeM. The
participation by the Seller in e-bidding shall be construed as his /

Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs)
Order, 2012, as amended from time to time " issued by MoSME".

(w) GeM is an end to end on-line procurement portal and not a tender
publishing portal. GeM has detailed GTC, product / service
specific STC and a rich ATC library in-built in the portal which

available terms and conditions, there is hardly any need to add
any additional conditions to be attached with any GeM bid.
However, for inclusion of some clause which is considered
absolutely necessary for that particular bid for reasons to be
explained in detail, a provision for inclusion of additional
conditions in the bid through corrigendum is available in
Request Management System. Only indispensable conditions that
are not covered in and are not in conflict with GeM GTC,
Product / Service STC and the standard ATC library, and which
are in compliance with the Govt. orders on Public Procurement and
are not restrictive and not against the core principals of
transparency, fairness and efficiency enshrined in GeM, can be
requested through RMS ATC request for making part of GeM bid
through corrigendum. Each such request has to be made only after
due approval of the Competent Authority in Buyer Organization
confirming that the request has been made with the approval of the
Competent Authority. Buyer organization shall be solely
responsible for the impact of the requested clauses on the
bidding process and its outcome. The clauses which are already
covered in standard ATC library available on GeM Portal,
will not be allowed through RMS.

License: In case the bid requires availability of BIS License,
bidder has to upload currently valid and operative BIS License

eligible. Submitted BIS License may be in the name of Bidder /
OEM or in the name of the Manufacturer to whom the OEM
has outsourced manufacturing of his brand of product. The name
of the Brand of the offered product should be mentioned in the
BIS License. BIS certificate issued under Compulsory registration
Scheme for electronic products to OEM/Brand owners for the
products marketed under their brand name wherein their products
are manufactured at third-party manufacturing unit is valid and is
17 | P a g e
allowed for participation in the bids floated on GeM. The
Manufacturer’s Authorization in all such cases wherein the
manufacturing is done by a third party shall be issued by the
Brand owner / OEM and not by the third-party manufacturing unit
mentioned in the BIS certificate.
(y) Bid Splitting: In case of critical / vital / safety / security nature
of the item, and / or large quantity under procurement and / or
urgent delivery requirements and / or inadequate vendor capacity,
Buyer may decide to have more than one source of supply. In such
cases Buyer may opt for Bid Splitting while creating the bid on
GeM, clearly indicating the Bid Splitting ratio in which order
will be split among L-1, L-2, L-3 etc as per ratio of splitting pre-
disclosed in the bid . After technical and financial evaluation,
before splitting the quantity, it should be ensured by the Buyer that
the L1 price is reasonable. After deciding the acceptable
reasonable price, L1 would be awarded contract for at least the first
/ highest percentage indicated in the bid splitting ratio. For the
rest of the bid quantity, the L-1 rates / lowest accepted rate will be
counter offered to the next higher quoting bidder(s) for price
matching. On acceptance of the counter offer, the order will be
placed on next higher quoting bidder(s) for the respective
percentage. In case of non- acceptance of the counter offer by
the next higher quoting bidder(s), a similar offer shall be made
to L3 and L4, and so on. In case counter offered rates are
not accepted for ratio of splitting quantity as per bid document
by any of the subsequent bidders, the left over quantity will
be divided between bidders who have accepted the rates in the
ratio of their originally allocated quantities subject to their
confirmation and after getting consent on mutually agreed
delivery schedule for the additional quantity.
