Following our phone call this morning, related to the Qualification process of our 2 new NACE Testing Laboratories, I would like to summary our conversation as follow:
- For the laboratory #2 (Science Park), the upcoming tests will be launched by separating the HIC specimens in order to avoid any doubt regarding the results obtained ;
- The tests that have been launched with HIC inside the tank will be re-launched step by step, starting with the most severe conditions, thus to avoid any doubt regarding the results obtained ;
- For reasons related to the Safety "Qualification" of the laboratory #3, we have decided that it will be more appropriate and reasonable to start the qualification of the laboratory #3 the second week of March 2016 ;
- Within the Qualification process of the 2 new laboratories, the UTIM tests will be performed step by step after end of each test following your request ;
- Concerning the Tensile machine, we have solved the software disfunction with Instron. Reports will be issued by Jutaporn this week in order to be able to start performing the tensile and pre-elongation tests at laboratory #3.
- For the further communications between TECHNIP and ISB, and at least, until the qualification of the laboratories #2 & 3, the only contact point shall be myself. I will then coordinate and organize of necessary, conference call with TECHNIP, with the persons concerned at ISB.
I do confirm, we wish to start operating the 2 new laboratories as soon as possible for Technip's tests. However, over and above, I want there is NO doubt concerning:
- The Quality of the qualification process ;
- The Strict control of the safety conditions of operation ;
Our target is clearly to improve our services for "Production tests" (with our laboratory #3) and to start cooperating with you for "Qualification" tests (with our laboratory #2). Therefore, I prefer, as stated here above, strictly guarantee all the different parameters in terms of Quality and Safety, notably.
We have dedicated a lot of energy from our side to comply with your requirements for the Qualification of the 2 new laboratories and will continue within the partnership scheme we have built for many years already.
