lot being sampled are accepted for use in the project. If the
second sample fails, however, the entire lot represented by the
sample is rejected.
The specification also provides guidance on responsibility for payment of the tests. Unless otherwise provided for
in the contract, the purchaser typically pays for the testing if
the units pass the test. However, if the units fail the test, the
seller bears the cost of the testing. See TEK 18-10 Sampling
and Testing Segmental Retaining Wall Units (ref. 7) for more
detailed information on SRW unit sampling, testing, and acceptance.
