Criterion text
The supplier must give a warranty of at least two years, beginning on the product delivery. The warranty entails that the products continue complying with the contract specification, without further costs. The warranty includes repairs or exchanges and a service agreement with possibilities for collection free of charge and on-site returns or repairs. Defective1 batteries are included in the warranty.
1If the battery cannot be charged or if the battery connection cannot be found, it will be counted as defective. A gradual decline of the battery capacity through use is not considered defective, unless this is included in a specific regulation in the warranty.
Verification
- Present a written assurance stating that the supplied products are covered by a warranty under the specifications and service requirements of the contract.
Proposed follow-up
- Evaluate performed service (if used), and check if replaced components correspond to the requirements of the contract.
