The discs are to be manufactured in accordance with best industry practice and in line with applicable standards (to be advised).
Where non OEM discs are proposed they are to be tested by the successful supplier as part of the approval process to ensure continuity of braking rates between variants.
Additionally, the manufacture of discs is to be controlled in accordance with a demonstrable, recognised and certified quality control process and to the satisfaction of IE.
IÉ have an approximated requirement for 624 discs in Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 of the contract. It is anticipated that the quantities required in year 4 may be lower.
