11.5 THE PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE

4.11.5 The Performance Certificate: Clause 11.9

Another important milestone is the issue of the Performance Certificate. In

both Books the Performance Certificate alone signifies acceptance of the

works. The contracts encourage timely issue of the Certificate. It is to be issued

by the Engineer or Employer within 28 days of the latest of:

●

the expiry of the DNP; or

●

as soon thereafter as the Contractor has supplied all the Contractor ’ s docu-

ments and completed and tested the works including remedying any defects.

If the certificate is not issued accordingly then it will be deemed to have

been issued on the date 28 days after it should have been issued.
