Software validation and
verification
Publication information
MTS software is developed using established quality practices in accordance
with the requirements detailed in the ISO 9001 standards. Because MTSauthored software is delivered in binary format, it is not user accessible. This
software will not change over time. Many releases are written to be backwards
compatible, creating another form of verification.
The status and validity of MTS’ operating software is also checked during
system verification and routine calibration of MTS hardware. These controlled
calibration processes compare the final test results after statistical analysis
against the predicted response of the calibration standards. With these established
methods, MTS assures its customers that MTS products meet MTS’ exacting
quality standards when initially installed and will continue to perform as intended
over time.

Lifting and Moving Instructions
WARNING
This manual provides guidelines for lifting and moving your MTS Criterion
material testing system.
Unless otherwise specified, it is your responsibility to safely off-load, unpack,
and move the equipment to the final location on your premises. Equipment
insurance is also your responsibility.
Before moving the equipment from the receiving area to its final location, check
the dimensions of all doors and passages through which the machine will travel.
For dimensions, see “Packaging Dimensions and Weights” on page 6 and “Load
Frame Dimensions and Weights” on page 7.

The MTS Criterion frames are heavy.
Moving the frame using improper procedures can injure personnel (for
example, strained muscles and back injuries) or damage the frame.
Moving and positioning the MTS Criterion frame must be performed by
personnel trained in moving large equipment.
MTS Criterion frames weigh from 60–3500 kg (132–7716 lb). Other apparatus
such as the pallet, packaging, and accessories add to the overall weight. If you
have any questions, call MTS.

Responsibilities
This section details the responsibilities of both the customer and MTS to ensure
that the proposed testing area is suitable for the installation and operation of the
testing system.
Customer’s Responsibilities
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all required support services are
available, and that all necessary checks are made prior to installing the testing
system. These services and checks are described below.
Site preparation Proper site preparation is imperative so that the testing system operates in
accordance with its specifications and provides accurate test results. The
customer must ensure that the site requirements are satisfied prior to scheduling
the installation appointment.
Responsibilities
Handling and
transporting
Unless specifically arranged otherwise, it is the customer ’s responsibility to
arrange the off-loading, unpacking, and moving of the testing system to the final
site location. For details on handling and transporting your system to its final
location, refer to the moving instructions later in the manual.
Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer can supervise the offloading and transportation of the load frame to its final site. For additional
information about this service, contact MTS’ Service department or your local
MTS office.
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide slings and hoist rings. Slings and
hoist rings must conform to local codes and regulations and be sized correctly to
support the weight of the load frame. Weights and thread sizes are provided in
this manual.
Insurance and safety Under MTS’ standard contract, the shipping terms are Ex-Works (or FOB
Factory), meaning ownership and liability for the testing system transfers to the
customer at MTS’ loading dock. Unless other shipping terms are specified in a
purchase order, which MTS does not dispute, the Ex-Works shipping terms
apply. Under these terms, the customer is responsible for securing the applicable
transit insurance on the shipment and arranging safe transport to the final
destination. Arrangements can be made through MTS to secure insurance
coverage and shipping, at the customer’s expense.
When transporting a load frame within your own premises, you are responsible
for its safe transport. Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer or
Business Partner can supervise the transportation to the load frame’s final site.
For additional information on this service, contact MTS’ Service department or
your local MTS office.

MTS’ Responsibilities
MTS’ standard contract requires MTS to provide the necessary services to ensure
that your testing system operates accurately. These services are described below.
Additional services and equipment may be negotiated with MTS, but these
additional services must be mutually agreed upon and specifically described in
your purchase order.
Insurance Under MTS’ standard contract, the shipping terms are Ex-Works (or FOB
Factory), meaning ownership and liability for the testing system transfers to the
customer at MTS’ loading dock. Unless other shipping terms are specified in a
purchase order, which MTS does not dispute, the Ex-Works shipping terms
apply. Under these terms, MTS is responsible for insurance coverage while the
testing system is in the factory until it reaches the loading dock for shipping.
Installation When the site location is prepared and all the components are on site, MTS is
responsible for the complete installation of the load frame, its components, and
any additional accessories that may have been purchased. The customer must not
make any attempt to install the load frame without an MTS service representative
present.
Responsibilities
Initial operation Once the installation is complete, MTS performs an initial operation of the load
frame and a calibration check to ensure that it is working properly and measuring
accurately. MTS also performs a customer demonstration that briefly describes
how to operate the system.
Documentation MTS provides all the documentation required to operate the system, including
manuals for the load frame and any required software applications.The manuals
are available on mts.com by yourself.
Additional copies are available and can be ordered through the MTS Sales
department or found online at MTS.com.
