FIDIC在2017年发布第五版白皮书（雇主－咨询工程师服务协议），于2022年又发布修订勘误，对原文修订勘误11处，其中完全替换或新增4个条款。为了便于读者区别原2017版和修订版，我们用红色字体表示修订后的内容，用蓝色字体做注释。

 

修订版部分章节示例如下：

2.1.2 The Client accepts responsibility for and acknowledges that the Consultant will rely on the accuracy, sufficiency and consistency of all the information provided by the Client or by others on behalf of the Client. The Consultant shall use reasonable endeavours to review all significant information provided to it by the Client or by others on behalf of the Client within a reasonable time of receipt. To the extent achievable using the standard of care in Sub-Clause 3.3.1 [Standard of Care], the Consultant shall review such information with a view to  ensuring that such information does not contain any manifest error , omission or ambiguity and shall give Notice  to  the Client promptly of any adverse findings.

6.3.3若在全部或部分服务暂停和恢复期间，咨询工程师发生额外费用，那么：

b） 应根据第4.4款[延误]修订完成时间，以反映暂停对服务计划的影响;

c） 咨询工程师应把发生额外费用情况在合理可行的范围内尽快通知雇主。

 

注： 删除整个第6.3.4条，改为以下内容：

 

6.3.4 The Time for Completion shall be amended in accordance with Clause 4.4 [Delays] to reflect the effect of the suspension on the Programme.”.

工作完成时间应根据第4.4条[延误]进行变更，以反映暂停对计划的影响。

 

6.3.4 The Consultant shall take reasonable measures to mitigate the effects of the

suspension of the Services or part thereof .

6.3.4咨询工程师应采取合理措施，以减轻全部或部分服务暂停的影响。

咨询工程师应采取合理的措施来减轻暂停服务或部分服务的影响。

 

(e) Where an Exceptional Event has led to a suspension of the Services for more than one hundred and sixty-eight (168) days the Client may terminate the Agreement upon giving fourteen (14) days' Notice to the Consultant.

（1）第一行，删除 "Without prejudice to Sub-Clause 6.1.1[Suspension of Services],"的全部字样。

（2）将 " where "改为 " Where "。

(c) 对咨询工程师从国外汇外币到国内用于当地货币支出，并随后将外币或当地货币重新汇国外的行为征收税款或不同的汇率，以至于妨碍顾问公司履行服务或导致其财务上的不利。

 

Then the Client agrees that such circumstances shall be deemed to justify the application of Clause 4.6 [Exceptional Event] if alternative financial arrangements are not made to the satisfaction of the Consultant.

 

注：第7.3.2(c)条： 从第6行到第9行，删除 " then the Client agrees that… …to the satisfaction of the Consultant."中的所有字样，并在下面的新段落中重新引入相同的措辞，并适用于第7.3.2条的所有内容。

 

那么客户同意，如果没有做出令顾问满意的替代性财务安排，这种情况应被视为有理由适用第4.6条[例外事件]。
