Written reports of said tests shall be submitted to the owner and, in the case of running safety tests, 72 hour (3 working days) prior notification shall be given so that a Representative of the owner may witness said test.

Should damage occur as a result of the load test, any repairs will be the responsibility of the Owner unless such damage is the direct result of Contractor's negligence in performing the test. I n the event that the elevator fails to pass the load test per the requirements of Section 307m of the California State Elevator Safety Orders, the Owner and the State will be notified of the results and the reasons, if known, for the failure. Any costs associated with remedying the cause of the failure, including the cost to retest the elevator, are the responsibility of the owner, unless such costs are covered under warranty or under an existing maintenance agreement."
