12. Operational acceptance of the completed facility

The procedure and conditions of acceptance of the completed facilities into operation are specified by the "Procedure of acceptance of the completed facilities into operation", approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Resolution No. 461 dated 13.04.2011, "Aspects of acceptance of the completed facilities into operation", or in accordance with current Ukrainian regulations and legal documents,valid as of the date of the facility's commissioning.

Upon receiving from the Contractor of written notification about completion at site of all the civil, erection and commissioning works the Employer or its authorized representative sets up the committee for drawing up and signing the Certificate of readiness of Facilities to operation that includes representatives of Employer, Contractor, designer, operational service and trade union.

The Contractor is obliged to prepare and submit to the Committee Certificates and all required documents in accordance with requirements of valid norms and rules of operational acceptance of facilities backbone power networks after construction or rehabilitation, including:

• list of utilities (subcontractors) participating in the performance of building and erection works with indication of types of works performed by them and names of engineers and technicians directly responsible for performance of these works;

• set of production drawings (as-built documentation) for the construction of the equipment presented for acceptance;

• certificates, technical passports or other documents, certifying quality of materials, structure sand components used in construction and erection works;

• covered-up works survey certificates and acts of intermediate inspection of separate responsiveconstructions (bearing metal and reinforced concrete constructions);

• acts of individual testing and installed equipment tests;

• reports of testing of communication devices, installations of radio, signalization and automationat their transposition;

• reports on actions performed when building at the site with subsidence grounds, high groundwater level, underground openings, karsts;

• act of test of devices providing explosion safety, fire safety and lightning protection;

• registers of works execution and field supervision.

At the completed site, all works shall be performed as provided by working documentation and state standards, building regulations, equipment to be assembled and tested, safe conditions of industrial safety, fire and anthropogenic safety, ecological protection and sanitary standard shall be arranged.

Defects and faults detected during construction shall be removed prior to the complex testing.

Complex testing shall be performed by the Employer with Contractor's personnel involvement, after completion of all construction and installation works.

Facility complex testing beginning is the moment of its energization.

Prior to signing of certificate of readiness of Facilities to operation the committee shall:

• verify the correspondence of the performed construction and installation works to the working;

• documentation, to standards, construction norms and work performance rules;

• verify the quality of the erected construction and installation works and evaluate them.

Based on results of equipment complex testing relevant records and certificate of readiness of Facilities to operation shall be prepared.

In the case of operational acceptance of the facility in I or IV quarter the terms of execution of certain types of works on land improvement and facade finishing may be postponed, but based on adverse weather conditions only. List of such works and terms of its execution are defined by Employer an dare recorded in the certificate and Declaration of readiness of Facilities for operation.

In case of disclosure of any defects or faults, the Committee makes a list of them and indicates terms of defects elimination, agreed with Contractor. List of defects shall be an essential annex to Certificate and shall be signed by Head of Committee and Contractor. In that case Employer should not sign and submit for registration Declaration of facility readiness for operation; and repeated address to the Employer by Contractor about facility readiness is acceptable only after eliminating of all comments and written notification of Employer about it.

On the grounds of approved certificate of readiness of the completed facilities for operation Employer or its authorized representative signs the Declaration of readiness of the completed facilities for operation and submit it for registration to the relevant State Architecture and Construction Inspectorate at the facility's location.

For registration of Declaration Employer or its authorized representative submits to Inspectorate two completed copies of Declaration. After the registration one copy is returned to Employer and the second one remains in the Inspectorate.

The Inspectorate checks the completeness of data indicated in Declaration and register it.

In the case the Declaration does not meet the requirements the Inspectorate returns it for improvement with explanation of reasons for return.

After the removing of reasons for return of Declaration for improvement the Employer may once more address the Inspectorate for Declaration registration.

The date of commissioning of the completed facility is the date of Declaration registration.
