14. TESTING
14.1. A sample meter of a particular type from a Vendor shall be declared acceptable
by COMPANY, only if the meter satisfies this specification and the following
tests in all respects. This acceptance will be notified by issuing a written approval
letter to the Vendor. In case of any conflict (either not clear parts in IEC
standards, this specification, or different opinions), the decision of COMPANY
shall be final.
Meter. In this case, the Vendor shall submit the certified test report for the
complemented item(s) by the specified date to the COMPANY.
14.3. The Vendor shall conduct interoperability test with AMR/AMM server, Gateway
(DCU) M
designated place. If there is any problem found, the Vendor shall solve its Meter
problem by the specified date to the COMPANY.
14.4. If the interoperability problem is found among the Meter, Gateway (DCU), and

tested is ten (10) units. The number of meters in a delivery batch and
sample ratio may be changed according to the sampling method defined
in IEC 62058-11 as per
choose serial numbers of the sample meters and give the list of serial
numbers to the Vendor. Then the Vendor shall deliver the sample
meters to COMPANY-designated place according to the list.
14.7.4. The Routine Test includes the interoperability test with the Gateway
and AMR Server having the COMPANY specification (including field
operation test).
14.7.5. If any single meter of the tested meters in a certain delivery batch fails
to pass the Routine Test, all the meters in the delivery batch shall be
rejected.
14.7.6. Interim (or Special) Test
14.7.6.1. Interim Test may be performed by COMPANY to ensure
the manufactured meters performance with sample
meters of the delivered batch
compared with the certified qualification level, is decreased
considerably.
14.7.6.2. COMPANY will select three (3) sample meters from the
delivered batch randomly and test the meters at least once a
year. This Interim Test may be commissioned to third party
(an international test organization).
