(a)Records of the expiration dates of guarantees of a year or more will be maintained by project office personnel. The project manager is responsible for making certain that such records are properly kept and ascertaining any possible guarantee obligations before authorizing repairs on guaranteed items.
(b)Special note should be made of items which have a guarantee period and a warranty period of different duration.
(c)Any notices or information as to the start of the guarantee period required by the manufacturer should be forwarded to him as promptly as possible in accordance with the terms of the guarantee.
(d)Guarantees of short periods i.e., three to six months, may be recorded if desired. However, as such a short interval of time is involved, easy reference can be made to the purchase order or similar document so that a special guarantee record is not required. In any event, the project manager still has the responsibility of ascertaining whether the guarantee period has expired before authorizing repairs to guaranteed items.
(e)Records or information on guarantees should be arranged so as to alert the project manager 30 days prior to the expiration date of any guarantee so that repairs or adjustments, if needed, can be made before the expiration of the guarantee.
