5. COMPLETE INFORMATION AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SUBMISSION

All requests and orders for the provision of services must be accompanied by sufficient information, specifications and instructions to enable the Company to evaluate and/or provide the requested services. The sending of materials deemed hazardous under E.R. 1272/2008 (CLP) and Legislative Decree 81/2008 Title IX, must be strictly communicated, before sending the samples, to Sideius personnel. In the cases provided for, they must be accompanied by the relevant safety data sheet. In the case of receipt -without prior notice- of materials judged to be hazardous according to R.E. 1272/2008 (CLP) and Legislative Decree 81/2008 Title IX, Sideius reserves the right to terminate the contract and not to continue with processing, in addition to charging the customer for shipping costs and the additional handling costs for the return of materials judged to be hazardous.

6. FINAL TEST REPORT AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE REPORT

Economic bids include the preparation of the final test report, written in Italian. English language translation, if requested, will be quoted at a predetermined hourly cost and based on the content of the report itself. In the event of a change in an already issued test report, the test report will be reissued with the same numbering and updated revision index, or a new test report may be issued with different identification. In either case, the new document will indicate the cancellation and replacement of the original test report to which it refers, and the updated information will be clearly identified therein. Revisions of test reports requested by the Principal and not originating from errors or deficiencies of the Sideius Laboratory may incur an additional cost to the Principal. Under no circumstances, in accordance with EA Resolution 2014 (33) 31, may the Sideius Laboratory proceed to modify – at the request of the Customer – already issued test reports, for insertion or variation of identification data of the product being tested (coding, lot, serial number, drawing number, model, etc.) provided by the Customer after the test report has been issued, although such data shall remain the responsibility of the Customer and the reference to the original test report shall be maintained. The Sideius Laboratory is also not permitted to issue separate test reports, to separate conforming and nonconforming results, where the samples subjected to testing are referable to the same production batch.

6.1 INTESTATION OF TEST REPORT (ref. ISO/IEC 17025 §7.8.2).

According to the requirements of the UNI EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard, the holder of the Test Report must always coincide with the party who entered into the Contract or issued the order to the laboratory, regardless of who is actually interested in the results. Any references to third parties, if requested by the client, will be given in the appropriate field within the Test Report.

6.2 MIC – SAMPLE IDENTIFICATION FORM

Samples will be identified in the test report solely by reference to the information provided in the completed form that is present with the technical/commercial quotation and/or order confirmation label.

Modification of this information, requested after the test report has been submitted, is not permitted.

According to EA Resolution 2014 (33) 31 regarding requirement 5.10.9 of ISO/IEC 17025, it is not possible for accredited Laboratories to re-issue Test Reports, changing the information related to the product trade name or product brand name (including the manufacturer’s name), present in the description of the test sample, and in any case the identification data (coding, lot, serial number, drawing number, model, etc.) of the sample itself, even with explicit reference to the previously issued Test Report. Therefore, since the identification of the sample delivered at acceptance and all information related to the sample issued during acceptance is the responsibility of the Client/Purchaser, it follows that any requests for changes in this information must be received by the Sideius Laboratory only and exclusively in writing, before the start of the related tests. In addition, in the event of changes (in the name and/or any other information regarding the sample to be tested, indicated at the time of acceptance) occurring subsequently, the Client must provide for a new test sample to be sent. Instead, it will always be possible to change the description on the Test Report to: 1) Correct errors when the description given on the Test Report does not match the description given in the Customer’s order (error made by the Laboratory in transcribing the Customer’s request). For this type of error, even a verbal request will suffice. 2) Correct errors made by the Client in filling out the request. For this type of errors, the Client must send an explicit written request for any changes. Such a request, dated and signed by the Client himself, will be evaluated by the Sideius Laboratory about the possibility of drawing up a Revision of the Test Report (this possibility can be implemented only in the case where the Client declares the presence of an error on a provided data). Example of communication to be sent: “I am hereby requesting the modification of the description of the sample related to the test report No. … of … from … to … I declare that the first description communicated to you is incorrect due to our error of … (typing/communication/transfer) and that this description does not correspond in any way to the sample tested by you. In particular, I declare, on my own responsibility, that the correct description does not constitute a new trade name/brand of the product identified by the incorrect description.” In any case, it will not be possible to make changes to the sample description on the Test Report when the requested changes involve a change in the trade name, manufacturer or brand name of the product, or identifying coding of the sample, from what was indicated by the Customer at the time of acceptance. In such a case, the Customer must arrange for a new test sample to be sent, which includes the issuance of a new Test Report. See also Sideius General Conditions of Sale Art. 6. In order to limit inconvenience, it is requested that the greatest care be taken when writing the MIC form, clearly stating the full description of the sample you wish to have on the Test Report.

6.3 URGENCY SURCHARGE.

Sideius will charge a surcharge over standard prices, which will be agreed upon with the client, for requests for activities performed under an emergency procedure (i.e., requests without prior notice or days in advance of the delivery time) and/or outside normal business hours (i.e., Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m.).

6.4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTRIBUTION – Integrated Environmental Management of Laboratory Waste.

The environmental contribution supports the implementation of all operations involved in the proper laboratory waste management process, such as analysis, storage, management of cogent administrative paperwork and disposal, contributing to environmental sustainability and compliance with evolving environmental regulations. A contribution item will be included in each technical-commercial proposal, covering the cost of managing the waste generated by the management of the order itself. In the case of activities involving particularly heavy environmental waste management burdens, Sideius reserves the right to apply a variable contribution that will be agreed with the Client.

7. BILLING ARRANGEMENTS

At the end of each month all services completed in the current month will be invoiced. In case the activity campaign is prolonged for several months, the Company plans to invoice partial advance payments for the activity communicated from month to month, with balances at the end of the work.

7.1 MINIMUM BILLING AMOUNT

For each accepted order, regardless of the number or type of tests requested, the minimum billable amount is € 150.00 + VAT, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. This amount is intended to cover the minimum costs of management, administration, acceptance and preparation of the activity, even in cases where the economic value of the individual services requested is lower.

8. DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

If explicitly requested by the Principal, the Company may make a judgment of conformity on the results of tests performed by its Laboratory. The criterion that describes how measurement uncertainty is taken into account when declaring compliance with a specified requirement is called the “decision rule.” Where the decision rule is not explicitly dictated by the Principal or explicitly defined by technical standard, regulation or current legislation, the Sideius Laboratory generally adopts the decision rule of simple acceptance with a maximum probability of 50% PFA (so-called “shared risk”), with reference to ILAC-G8 Guideline. In cases where, having considered an extended measurement uncertainty calculated with a 95% probability of coverage, the conformity of the result is not unequivocal, the Laboratory will therefore issue any conformity judgments through direct comparison of the result obtained with the reference value, without taking into account the contribution of uncertainty. In particular, conformity is declared in all cases where such result does not exceed the limit of the specified acceptability range.

9. MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY

In the case of Accredited Laboratory testing, measurement uncertainty values will be reported on the test report when relevant to the validity or use of the test results, if expressly requested by the Customer at the time of acceptance of the economic offer, or if they affect compliance with specification limits.

10. USE OF TRADEMARKS AND LOGOS

The Customer undertakes not to make use of the logos and trademarks present within the documentation received from the Company: the aforementioned trademarks may not be used in documentation concerning a product, nor may they be reproduced on a product. Therefore, the use or reproduction, even partial, of the logos of the Accreditation, Certification, Company’s logos present on the documentation issued by the Company to the Customer are prohibited. The Principal is authorized to submit and/or attach the final test report.

11. OPINIONS AND VIEWS

What is stated in the test report or accompanying report refers only to the sample tested and in no case is extendable to other samples or batches from which such samples were taken. If an opinion on the total volume is requested, arrangements must be made in advance with the Company for inspection and sampling of the same. Sampling activities and the issuance of opinions and opinions are not covered by Accreditation.

12. SUBCONTRACT

The Company may, delegate the performance of all or part of the services hired on behalf of the Principal to any agents or subcontractors, when authorized in writing by the Principal. Outsourced activities are reported in the technical and commercial proposal and are subcontracted to qualified and monitored external suppliers in accordance with the requirements of the applicable management procedures of the Laboratory Quality Management System. The Company remains responsible for results provided to the Principal related to subcontracted tests or test steps.

13. SAMPLE STORAGE AND DOCUMENT ARCHIVING

The Company is obliged to ensure the proper storage of the sample according to its internal procedures, also adhering to any information and directions received from the Principal. Unless expressly stated in the transport document and/or the Customer’s documents, the sample tested will not be returned to the Customer. Otherwise, if there is a willingness on the part of the Principal to have the sample and material delivered to the Company back, such willingness must be stated in the reason for the transport document. The processed sample (specimen) submitted to Laboratory test for which return is not requested will be kept for a period of twelve (12) months at the Company’s archive, starting from the date of issuance of the test report. After the twelve (12) months have elapsed, the Company may consider the samples as waste and will dispose of them. Processing scraps shall be kept for four (4) weeks from the date the test was performed, then disposed of, unless otherwise notified by the Principal. Records of testing, inspection, non-destructive testing, qualifications of welders and non-destructive testing personnel shall be retained for a period of ten (10) years from the time of their approval and release to the Principal. Sideius shall maintain records, for each testing activity, by completion of appropriate data transmission forms or report printouts from machine software, as applicable, of information sufficient to facilitate the identification of factors affecting the test results and otherwise necessary to permit repetition of the testing activity under conditions as close to the original as possible. The aforementioned records of testing, testing and non-destructive testing, as well as records of the qualifications of the Laboratory’s technical personnel, shall be retained for a period of ten (10) years. Any numerical printouts (date files) of machines, where existing, are extracted and provided to the Customer if expressly requested on order; in these cases the Laboratory ensures the same traceability and preservation as for the above records. In the event that the processing requested from the Company involves samples, specimens and/or scraps from the end of processing that do not provide for scrapping, as they are requested to be returned by the Customer, the same shall be kept free of charge at the Company’s premises for 30 (thirty) days following the end of the processing. After this term, if the same have not yet been collected by the Customer and/or have not been authorized for scrapping, the Company will charge the Customer a storage fee of 100 (one hundred) €/month for the following 3 (three) months. At the end of the following 3 (three) months, materials not yet collected will be scrapped. In all cases, the cost of handling the disposal and scrapping, if done by Sideius, will be charged to the Customer. In all cases, the Company invites the Principal to take charge of the collection at his own expense. For information and arrangements, e-mail logistica@sideius.com is available.
