RE: [PipingDesign] Purchase Specification

Thank you Christopher W. particularly to the answer on item no. 3. This has cause some arguments between us and our qa/qc people. Now i have an opinion from a third party boosting my case with our qa/qc.

for item no. 2, does it mean yes. we can accept mtr in lieu of certificate of compliance but not vice versa.

For item no. 1, your answer is a bit not clear. At the beginning u mention there is no order of precedence and yet u stated that u wont cant paid if the spec is not followed. Does it follow then that the purchase spec governs above all other. If that is the case, then we do have the order of precedence. To get paid - it s the purchase spec and last will be the codes and standard. Im not really after a legal opinion here but rather the industry practice (if htere is any)
