*In the case of XPS:
As a general rule, 7-hour sessions (or half-sessions of 3.5 hours) will be invoiced. In the case of self-employed users, as a general rule, the minimum time will be 1 session (7 hours).
The actual equipment occupancy time within a session may be extended to the whole day (24 hours) as long as the analysis can continue in automatic mode without the need for technician intervention beyond the working day. These additional hours will be free of charge and only 7 hours will be invoiced. The minimum of 20 hours of usage per quarter required to be a frequent user shall be understood as hours charged in the session, thus equating to a minimum of three sessions/quarter.
*In the case of XRD:
The full day rate shall apply only in those special cases where the analysis can continue in stand-alone mode without the need for the technician’s intervention beyond his working day.
The minimum of 20 hours of quarterly usage required to be a frequent user shall be understood as hours charged in the session (a full day is considered as 7 hours of usage).
