4 APPENDIX

4.1 Remarks to the scope of delivery

The drawings listed in the scope of delivery include parts that are mandatory in BN's modern overhead contact line systems as well as parts in older overhead contact line systems that are ordered on demand. Some of these parts may also be supplier dependent and as such deviate from the attached drawing(s). Hence the scope of delivery is marked as follows:

M	=	Mandatory
R	=	On requirement
*	=	Supplier dependent

This marking can occur either solely or in combination.

One or more of the drawings referred to here, in the technical specification and scope of delivery for «Processed steel and aluminum parts» are supplier dependent, other suppliers can offer their own products that have similar function, performance, construction and service life. Such products shall be approved specifically by BN. In connection with the introduction of new components, where there are no satisfactory production drawings, the supplier shall send a technical documentation of the component for approval. Documentation for approval shall include drawing in file format (pdf.files) and/or open data models (IFC.files), technical data, test reports, etc. Open data models shall be in accordance with the standards [NS-EN ISO 12006-3], [NS-EN ISO 16739] and [NS-EN ISO 29481-2]. Some components shall undergo a test period before final approval is given. Test procedures and requirements for results are determined by BN.
