2. The detailed description of the subject of the contract includes: technical documentation, technical specifications for the execution and acceptance of works, and work items constituting attachments to the SWZ.

3. All works must be carried out in accordance with the technical documentation and applicable technical conditions and regulations.

4. Pursuant to Article 101(4) of the Act, in the place where the subject of the contract is described using standards, technical assessments, technical specifications, and technical reference systems, the Contracting Authority allows solutions equivalent to those described. Furthermore, it should be assumed that all such references are accompanied by the words "or equivalent". The indication of the equivalence of the offered solution in accordance with Article 101(5) of the Act and on the principles specified therein lies with the Contractor. In such a case, the Contractor is obliged to prove, by attaching to the tender the relevant subject-matter evidence referred to in Articles 104-107 of the Pzp Act, that the proposed solutions meet the requirements specified in the description of the subject of the contract to an equivalent extent.

5. In cases where trademarks have been used in the design documentation or technical specifications for the execution and acceptance of works, this means that they are given as examples and only define the minimum expected quality parameters and the required standard. The Contractor may use equivalent materials or equipment, but with technical and quality parameters similar to or better than those, the use of which in no way will negatively affect the proper functioning of the solutions accepted in the design documentation. The Contractor who uses equivalent equipment or materials will be obliged to demonstrate during the execution of the contract that the materials and equipment used by him meet the requirements specified by the Contracting Authority.

6. The use in the design documentation of a label indicates that the Contracting Authority accepts all labels confirming that the given construction works, supplies, or services meet the equivalent requirements specified by the Contracting Authority label. In the event that the Contractor, for reasons beyond his control, cannot obtain the label specified by the Contracting Authority or an equivalent label, the Contracting Authority, within the time limit set by him, accepts other corresponding subject-matter evidence, in particular the producer's documentation, provided that the given Contractor proves that the construction works, supplies, or services, which are to be performed by him, meet the requirements of the specified label or the requirements specified by the Contracting Authority.

7. The use in the design documentation of the requirement to have a certificate issued by a conformity assessment body or a report of tests carried out by that body as evidence confirming compliance with the requirements or features specified in the description of the subject of the contract, evaluation criteria for tenders, or contract performance conditions indicates that the Contracting Authority also accepts certificates issued by other equivalent conformity assessment bodies. The Contracting Authority also accepts other appropriate evidence, in particular the producer's technical documentation, in cases where a given Contractor does not have access to certificates or test reports, or the possibility of obtaining them within the appropriate time frame, provided that this lack of access cannot be attributed to the given Contractor, and provided that the given Contractor proves that the construction works, supplies, or services performed by him meet the requirements or criteria specified in the description of the subject of the contract, evaluation criteria for tenders, or requirements related to the performance of the contract.

8. If the description of the subject of the contract includes a provision resulting from the KNR or KNNR indicating the need to use specific equipment with specific parameters in the performance of the contract, the Contracting Authority allows the use of other equipment, provided that it ensures the achievement of the design parameters and does not pose a risk of non-compliance of the completed works with the technical documentation.

9. In the case of a description using standards, equivalent solutions are considered to be those that ensure compliance with the minimum requirements specified in the standard at a level not worse than described in the relevant standards. In the case of standards referred to in the SWZ (if this has not been specified in detail), current standards are understood. In other cases (description of the subject of the contract using technical assessments, technical specifications, and technical reference systems), an equivalent product, material, or system is considered to be one with technical, functional, and quality parameters not worse than those mentioned in the description of the subject of the contract.
