R 17 : General Conditions for the Repair of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic Equipment

These conditions are intended to be used primarily when a contractor is asked by his customer to repair mechanical, electrical and electronic plant and equipment. The repair work may be carried out on site or at the contractor's premises. 

The conditions contain an introduction which explains their use and gives guidelines.

The conditions should not be used when the contractor, as a part of a maintenance contract, undertakes to repair defects which may occur in the equipment he has undertaken to maintain. In such cases the Orgalim General Conditions for Maintenance (M 17) should be used.

The Orgalim R 17 are available in English and German, a French version will soon be available.

There is a special annex which should be used in contracts when German law applies.
