on one GTG towards accord of bulk production clearance. This test will involve type-testing
and trials to establish performance data, life expectancy, and operation & maintenance
characteristics of the GTG set. The test procedure however can be submitted by the OEM
for review and acceptance. This test will also involve an endurance test required to be
conducted for a duration of 1000 hrs. The equipment undergoing FoPM would not be
accepted as deliverable under the contract.

3. Acceptance trials (After Award of Contract)

a. Factory acceptance trials (FAT)
This will involve tests and pre-dispatch inspections to ascertain the performance of the
unit in line with those achieved during the FoPM trails. The unit will be tested at various
loads up to 110% of nominal power. The test procedure however can be submitted by the
OEM for review and acceptance.
