Equipment Selection, Preparation, and Decontamination

Both parties need to identify responsibilities for choosing the right equipment for the process, preparing equipment for the process, and decontaminating equipment. Consider whether chemical and process hazards have been addressed in the selection, preparation, and decontamination of equipment. Examine the need to contractually address containment and disposal of residual process fluids and decontamination materials. If food products or pharmaceuticals are involved, cleaning methods may also be an issue to address in the contract.
