Under a price adjustment agreement, which of the following would be supplier's justification for increasing unit price?
Normally in a price adjustment agreement, the supplier is allowed to change price based on an indexation, which is published by a third party (for example, government or exchange market). The selected indices often associate with input materials of supplier. For instance, the plastics manufacturer may adjust their price based on crude oil price as oil is major input of producing plastics. Other suppliers may select different set of indices, such as Producer Perception Index.
In this question, only 'Rise in fuel price' could be a justification for supplier to increase price because:
- It may affect the input material price
- The index is checked and published by an independent third party.

Which of the following is used to detail the complex matter that may be verbiage to the main document?
Without further explanation, a schedule may be deemed to form an integral part of the obligations of either or both parties. Obviously, the scope or binding nature of such schedule depends on the way it is referred to in the obligatory language of the main agreement. Accordingly, merely attaching the general terms and conditions of sale without explaining to which part of the sale they apply or which provisions apply does not subject a sale pursuant to the body text of the agreement to those general terms and conditions.
Subcontracting is the practice of assigning, or outsourcing, part of the obligations and tasks under a contract to another party known as a subcontractor.

EAC Facilities Management is planning for a new construction project in the suburban are
a. They decide to use NEC or FIDIC model form of contract for this project. Is this a right course of action?
Construction procurement is particularly complex and risky. Forming a contract in construction may take lots of time and energy of both client and contractor. Therefore, standardisation in construction contract would help the buying organisation to save their precious resources. Furthermore, the wording of these model form contracts is accurate as it has been agreed among the professionals within an industry.

Which of the following is the international standard for labelling hazardous substances?
GHS stands for the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. GHS defines and classifies the hazards of chemical products, and communicates health and safety information on labels and safety data sheets). The goal is that the same set of rules for classifying hazards, and the same format and content for labels and safety data sheets (SDS) will be adopted and used around the world. An international team of hazard communication experts developed GHS.
The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally NAVSTAR GPS, is a satellite-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force. It is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. Obstacles such as mountains and buildings block the relatively weak GPS signals.
CODEX STAN 1-1985 is general standard for the labelling of packaged goods.
Environment (E), health (H) and safety (S) (together EHS) is a discipline and specialty that studies and implements practical aspects of environmental protection and safety at work. In simple terms it is what organizations must do to make sure that their activities do not cause harm to anyone.
