manufacturing/processing tool in the clean room:

(a)     The entire fire fighting system  (including but not limited to sprinklers, hydrants,

standpipes)  shall be activated and an adequate water supply maintained. No subsequent disablement or disarming of the fire protection system, in parts or as a whole, shall be undertaken without prior written notice to the Insurers.

(b)     Proprietary smoke detection systems, such as VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection and

Alarming) and/or HSSD (High Sensitivity Smoke Detection) shall be installed at least in the
RAP (Return Air Planum) area, tested and activated. Alarm station for smoke detection and
sprinkler flow alarms shall be tested and activated. Two security staff shall be in 24-hour

(g)     Formal control procedures encompassing Contractor fire training, Contractor access to

the plant, and hot work permit procedures shall be developed and implemented by the
Insured. All Contractors entering the clean room area must have received a safety and
emergency response training and be given clear identification for clean room access
control.

(c)     Once testing of semiconductor manufacturing/processing tools (i.e. when gas, chemicals

and/or electricity are supplied to any such tool), an ERT (Emergency Response Team),

consisting of Principal’s and/or Contractors’ trained staff, shall be on the Project Site at all times. The ERT shall consist of no fewer than 8 people per shift in the clean room.
Security staff at the control centre must be able to mobilize the ERT at all times.

Wet benches (if present) containing flammable and/or combustible liquids must be constructed of stainless steel and/or FM4910 compliant material and be equipped with internal CO2 extinguishers. Pipeworks for flammable liquid and/or gas shall meet relevant FM (Factory Mutual) and/or SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment & Material International) safety requirements.

(f)      All Contractors and operators at the Project Site shall be familiar with the emergency

response procedure which shall include but not be limited to knowing the location of the closest portable CO2 extinguisher and the emergency telephone number. This shall be verified by Principal’s random check records conducted during Principal’s routine plant surveys by its safety personnel and submitted to Insurers on monthly basis.

(b)        The Principal shall take over all facilities such as air conditioning, fire fighting system,

etc.  upon the completion of all testing of the particular facility but no later than when the testing of semiconductor manufacturing/processing tools begins.
The Principal shall take over all semiconductor manufacturing/processing tools once they have been tested but no later than 90 days since any such tool has been moved into the clean room. This shall be verified by an equipment handover record with details of move-in date of all semiconductor manufacturing/processing tools whose value
exceed the amount specified below and provided to Insurers on a bi-monthly basis.
Insurers shall not indemnify the Insured  for any loss of or damage to equipment for
which no such handover record has been provided unless:
