10.4.1 Government's right to inspect and test

(a)  Government (and any person it authorises) has the right to enter, inspect and test any part of the works during the construction phase and to inspect any drawings, documents, test results, samples and specifications used in relation to such works. Except in the case of an emergency (where no prior notice is required), government must give reasonable prior notice. The private party must provide all reasonable assistance required by government.

(b)  When exercising its right to enter, inspect and test, government must not cause any unnecessary disruption to the private party, any sub-contractor or any other authorised user of the site and will comply with the reasonable safety and security requirements of the private party or the relevant construction subcontractor that are notified to government by the private party.

(c)  The cost of any government inspection and testing will be borne by government unless the inspection or test shows that the design and/or construction is not consistent with the Output Specifications or other requirements set out in the project agreement.
