A typical READY FOR START-UP checklist is included as attachment 10/5 to this document as a basis for
further development.

START UP
An INSTALLATION (a unit or individual systems in the unit) is READY FOR START UP (RFSU), or
Ready for Use in case of buildings, when the following conditions are met as specified in the
AGREEMENT:
all work identified in the Commissioning Check List where applicable is completed.
– all work is completed to allow COMPANY to introduce feedstocks for the expressed
purpose to start the production of products in commercial quantities.
The RFSU Certificate may be issued subject to a written undertaking by CONTRACTOR to complete the
schedule of outstanding work. Such exceptions may include final completion of painting and insulation,
including scaffolding removal at COMPANY discretion
Work permits will be required for outstanding work of CONTRACTOR, and all the rules in force of an
operating PLANT shall be observed in accordance with the Approved Safety Procedures for this Project.

TEST RUNS
An INSTALLATION (a unit or individual systems in the unit) is READY FOR TEST RUN, when the
following conditions are met as specified in the AGREEMENT:
 all work identified in the COMMISSIONING Check List where applicable is completed;
 all work is completed to allow COMPANY to introduce feedstocks for the expressed purpose to start
the production of products in commercial quantities (this stage is often referred to as “Hydrocarbons-in”);
COMPANY will accept handover of an INSTALLATION or sections thereof upon signed agreement by
COMPANY of the READY FOR TEST RUN Certificate, with the exception of agreed work still to be
finished. Such exceptions may include final completion of painting and insulation, including scaffolding
removal at COMPANY discretion.
Work permits will be required for outstanding work of CONTRACTOR, and all the rules in force of an
operating plant shall be observed. Handover to COMPANY does not constitute acceptance which shall be
conditional on completing successful performance TEST RUNS.
To achieve an efficient transition from construction through systems testing and COMMISSIONING to
PROVISIONAL ACCEPTANCE, CONTRACTOR shall hand over the INSTALLATIONS, or individual
system in the INSTALLATIONS, in the sequence in which they are required to be taken into operation.
COMMISSIONING shall be completed by conducting a Performance TEST RUN of the
INSTALLATIONS, hereinafter referred to as TEST RUN for demonstrating the Performance Guarantees
as per Article 16 of the AGREEMENT.
Performance tests for the continuous 24 hour testing shall be carried out in compliance with a Test Run
Procedure, prepared by CONTRACTOR and approved by COMPANY.
The conditions under which the Test Runs are to be performed shall be agreed with and approved by
COMPANY. These will typically make reference to the following:
 CONTRACTOR shall advise COMPANY of the date when the Test Run can be initiated, giving
COMPANY at least ten (10) days advance notice. Within five (5) days from the date of receipt of
CONTRACTOR's notice, COMPANY shall notify CONTRACTOR of its agreement or shall state and
demonstrate its reason for disagreement or optionally, nominate an alternative date.
 For a minimum of a continuous 24 hour test, prior to the commencement of the test and during the test
itself, operating conditions shall be as recommended by CONTRACTOR and agreed by COMPANY.
 The details of sampling, measurement of quantities, analytical control, calculations of the warranty
figures, etc., during the test(s) will be set forth in the TEST RUN Procedure.
Within fourteen (14) days after successful completion of a TEST RUN, CONTRACTOR, by written
notification, shall certify to COMPANY, with all relevant support data, that the INSTALLATIONS design
complies with all requirements of the AGREEMENT and COMPANY shall give CONTRACTOR written
notification, within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of CONTRACTOR's notification of its acceptance,
or if, in COMPANY’s opinion, the Performance Guarantees have not been satisfied, stating its reasons
thereof.
In the event that the INSTALLATIONS or any part thereof fails to operate in accordance with the
AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR shall at its own expense carry out appropriate remedial design and
construction work and provide necessary replacement materials and equipment. On completion of such
remedial work the TEST RUNS will be repeated.
Within fourteen (14) days after INSTALLATIONS have been completed in accordance with the
AGREEMENT, and all Performance Guarantees have been fulfilled, deemed fulfilled or waived and all
technical documents to be submitted prior to PROVISIONAL ACCEPTANCE have been submitted to
COMPANY, CONTRACTOR shall by written notification to COMPANY request the issue of the
PROVISIONAL ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATE.
Within seven (7) days after receipt of such notification COMPANY shall either issue the PROVISIONAL
ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATE or notify CONTRACTOR of any deficiencies.
In the event of such deficiency CONTRACTOR shall promptly rectify the deficiency and again request
release of the PROVISIONAL ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATE as aforesaid. Within seven (7) days of such
