Government Procurement Act Article 72

In conducting the inspection and acceptance for a procurement, an entity shall make a record thereof signed jointly by the participating personnel. For any item found not in conformity with the requirements specified in the contract, drawings and/or samples after inspection and acceptance, the supplier shall be required, by a notice, to make improvement, to remove the rejected item or to re-do the work, or to recall or to replace the rejected item within a time-limit. Where the result of the inspection and acceptance indicates that the non-conforming item is not material and the remaining items are nonetheless usable, and the entity deems that it is necessary to use such remaining items before the said non-conformity is corrected, a partial acceptance may be conducted for the remaining items and the contract value may be paid partially for the accepted portion, subject to the approval by the head of the entity or his/her authorized personnel.Where the result of inspection indicates any non-conformity with the contractual requirements, but the non-conformity neither hinders the safety or use required nor decreases the general function or the function designated by the contract, an acceptance with price-reduction may be conducted under conditions that the entity has determined that there is no need or it is difficult to make replacement. Before conducting the foregoing, the entity shall report the case to the superior entity for approval if the value of the procurement reaches the threshold for supervision, or to the head of the entity or his/her authorized personnel if the value of the procurement does not reach the threshold.The inspectors may, as they deem necessary, disassemble the covered parts of a construction work or property for inspection or conduct analytical inspection thereof.
