acknowledgement of the meter.
All the final technical documentation will deliver in electronic form.
Client: ADDC/ AADC

Not reserved documentation is the documentation issued by the manufacturer that allows
verifying, directly or indirectly, the compliance of the meter with the prescription of this
specification. The manufacturer authorizes the diffusion and the reproduction of this
documentation within the TAQA/ADDC/AADC.
It shall contain at least:
• List of all the documents, including the list of the reserved documentation (type B).
• List of the suppliers of the main components and parts.
• Manual of the transport, installation, operation, and maintenance.
• Drawing of the rating plates.
• Overall drawings and relevant details of both the completely assembled mater (as in operation) and the
meter transportation.
• Test reports of the meters.
• Test reports and certifications of the subcomponents and materials used.
• External pictures.
• Calculation of the capability to withstand the short circuit (in case of the test is not performed).
• The data requested in the form D-MET-STEM-TO-3P-0.2S&0.5S updated and validated after the
homologation, certification, or approval process.
Together with each meter supply (compliant to the relevant approved type), the supplier shall
deliver.
The documentation considered reserved, of which the supplier does not authorize the diffusion,
used to identify the design and the manufacturing of the meter completely. It shall include all the
elements required in this specification and the documentation of the origins of the materials not
reported in “not-reserved documentation”. Such documentation will overview by the
TAQA/ADDC/AADC representatives or by the certification body during the homologation or
certification and archiving by the supplier.
For the identification of the prototype, the manufacturer shall prepare a report where the design of
the meter is describing, particularly referencing the construction solution adopted.
Moreover, a detail photographic documentation shall be prepared with the following phases of the
construction of the meter.

9 DELIVERY, HANDLING AND LOGISTIC ISSUE
9.1 Packaging and transportation

The supplier is responsible for all the delivery procedures and provisions for the storage of the
equipment in the factory after the tests and until the transport operations.
The supplier shall pack the equipment with suitable cases and protective measures granting the
safe delivery of the good at the final place of installation.
9.2 Storage
The manufacturer shall provide storage and preservation procedures to allow
TAQA/ADDC/AADC adequate storage of the meters prior to installation.
10 EXCEPTIONS
Exceptions to the present prescriptions, concerning the adoption of technical and or manufacturing
aspects different from the ones prescribed in the present specification, is for the evaluation by
TAQA/ADDC/AADC on a case-by-case basis.
In such a case, TAQA/ADDC/AADC will consider the opportunity to require additional tests about
the technical/manufacturing proposed solutions. Such exceptions are for approval by
TAQA/ADDC/AADC.
