The FIDIC suite of contracts is most commonly used for process plant, energy or other complicated projects, which will require some level of testing (and possibly a commissioning period) before the Employer will accept the Works as being complete.
Clause 9 sets out the requirements for the testing process, backed up by elements of the Specification which go into specifics about the nature of the tests and requirements to pass them.
