Sampling: At the option of the purchaser, representative samples shall be taken from deliveries made under this invitation and submitted for quality control testing. If the Page 4
purchaser's sample fails, the manufacturer shall pay for the actual cost of testing. Failure of any sample so taken to comply with the specifications requirements shall invalidate any purchase contact made under this invitation unless the manufacturer requests a repeat quality control test. This second sample shall be from the same batch. The manufacturer shall also pay for the second quality control test should the second sample fail, and this invalidates any purchase contract made under this invitation. If the second sample passed, the manufacturer is not responsible for paying the actual cost of the test, and results obtained from the second quality test shall prevail. B. Inspection: Physical inspection of packages, condition, quantity, and labeling shall be made a point of delivery by the purchaser. MSDS shall be submitted with each shipment in accordance with the Florida Right-to-Know Law, Chapter 442, Florida Statutes, and shall be identical to the MSDS supplied for initial certification. NOTE: TESTING TO MEET THIS SPECIFICATION DOES NOT INCLUDE AN IN-USE PERFORMANCE TEST. ALL EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES SHOULD CONSIDER AN IN-USE PERFORMANCE TEST BEFORE PURCHASING THE PRODUCT.
