Material from unapproved manufacturer
Material from unapproved manufacturer
(OP)
we now experience difficulties in material acceptance by our client with respect to approved manufacturers for structural steels (ASTM A36 plates, beam, column, flat bar, round bar, channel, angles) etc.
Presently on case to case basis Client suggests us in carrying out Mechanical & Chemical Testing of the structural material which is procured from unapproved manufacturers; prior to acceptance. The cost of the testing is borne by us and moreover, it is delaying our project completion schedule.
In order to overcome this anomaly it is proposed to come to a consensus to form a guideline for material acceptance. Please advise your views.
Thanks in advance..

if it is not in their specification then testing should be an adder to the contract or you both can agree on anything that satisfies you both.
