Set Warranty

 Overview

Describes the setting (capture) of information about the warranty provided for a product or service. Such information may be applied to any physical object or to an identifiable grouping of objects such as a system.
Within this functional part, a warranty is defined as 'an assurance given by the seller or provider of an artefact that the artefact is without defects and will operate as described for a defined period of time without failure and that if a defect does arise during that time, that it will be corrected by the seller or provider'.
Warranty information is established within a property set that is defined for product or group occurrences. A warranty is not expected to apply to a type object. 

Suggested modifications to IFC model and documentation

* Exclusions from a warranty, currently in the model as Pset_Warranty.Exclusions::IfcPropertySingleValue::IfcText should be made into a list value of IfcText e.g. Pset_Warranty.Exclusions::IfcPropertyListValue::IfcText
