If the supplier and the purchaser have other contract provisions, then samples shall be taken according to those specified in the Contract.

7.3.5 Reinspection

7.3.5.1 Re-inspection may be carried out in case either party has disagreement on the inspection results during inspection and to the objectionable items of un-accepted products within the specified period during delivery.
