availability and their manufacturing should be available.
Note: - Comprehensive--Support to the product in terms of spares availability
and their manufacturing should be available in both i.e. "Current" as well as
"Active" stages of PLC. However, these stages should be clearly known so as
to keep track of various stages of PLC and adjudge the availability of spares.
a) Usual spares i.e. which of those of the spares which were available in

b) Usual spares i.e. which of those of the spares which were available in
"Current", Active" and "Mature" stage of PLC are available at this stage.
• c) Spares as "Exchange Modules" which are of updated technology and
compatible to components of offered product.
In view of the above, it is required to know that the product being offered / being
supplied is in which stage of Product Life Cycle which will govern the requirement
of spares. Accordingly, following uniform policy for spares is to be followed.
