6.3.5 Evaluation

6.3.5.13 Evaluating Delivery

Purpose

The »Delivery is accepted. On the basis of the »Evaluation Specification Delivery it shall be subjected to the receiving inspection and the acceptance test.

In the receiving inspection the delivery will be checked for completeness. In the acceptance test the acquirer shall be involved in the testing of the system or the subsystem. In the acceptance test a verification, i. e. the evaluation cases specified in the »Evaluation Specification Delivery, shall be performed. Afterwards the system may be further validated in accordance with the expectations of the users. The deficiencies that occur in this process may be reworked by the supplier on the basis of a courtesy arrangement or they may be negotiated, which may involve a »Change Decision and a »Contract Addendum. The results of the validation, however, will not influence the issuance of the »Statement of Acceptance, as far as this is not governed by special contractual arrangements.

The results of the receiving inspection and of the acceptance test shall be recorded in the »Evaluation Report Delivery. In case the acceptance was not successful, the acceptance test will be performed again after the rework was completed, and the evaluation report will be updated.
