800.1Manufactured Product Certifications

1 The department requires that manufactured products delivered to the project are certified by the manufacturer’s certification or by a “Certification of Materials,” (Form T- 168) in the department’s Construction Management System (CMS), with all supporting test data in accordance with the Materials T esting Manual, that the materials meet contract specifications. The department does not require certification for materials manufactured by the contractor and tested by job control and check samples or by an authorized testing agency.

2 The engineer may approve the use of manufactured materials delivered to the site without the required certification(s) by approving in CMS if:

Testing Manual for approval of materials without certification, and is marked or labeled with the brand name specified or the test specification to which it was manufactured; or

3 In an emergency, the engineer may approve use of an item or items before the required certifications have been received. The engineer will evaluate (and document) each such circumstance based on its own merits. For this purpose, the department considers an emergency as a condition requiring prompt action to protect the immediate safety or welfare of the public. The use and incorporation of materials for emergency situations without the required certification does not constitute acceptance.

800.2Point of Sampling

1 When directed by the engineer, obtain material samples for material acceptance in accordance with the Materials Testing Manual. Sample from the following points:

2 The point of sampling may be adjusted if mutually agreed to by the engineer and contractor.

3 If a mechanical sampler is used, correlate test results with belt samples using the “Correlation of Aggregate Gradations,” (Form T-165AG).
