The functions of the Laboratories arc testing (including inspection), research,and engineering activities of a miscellaneous character. The testing work includesroutine testing, special testing and approval testing. Under routine testing maybe classed: (a) Acceptance tests, made on apparatus or samples of any product purchasedunder specification, from the results of which tests the product isaccepted or rejected. (h) Inspection of engineering materials such as steel, concrete, etc. (c) Control tests for the purpose of obtaining a continuous record of the quality of a product being regularly used. These include such productsas transformer oil, rubber gloves, etc. (d) Standardization and calibration of electrical measuring instruments.
