The fabrication of the 408 main arc quadrupole magnets and their cold masses will come to an end in summer 2006. A rich collection of measurement and test data has been accumulated and their analysis is presented in this paper. These data cover the fabrication and the efficiency in the use of the main components, the geometrical measurements and the achieved dimensional precision, the warm magnetic measurements in the factory and the performance at cold conditions, especially the training behaviour. The scrap rate of the NbTi/Cu conductor as well as that of other components turned out to be acceptably low and the quench performance measured was in general very good. Most quadrupoles measured so far exceeded the operating field gradient with one or no quench. The multipole content at cold was measured for a limited numbers of quadrupoles as far as needed for verifying the warm-to-cold correlation. From the point of view of field quality, all quadrupoles could be accepted for the machine and the measures taken to overcome the problem of a too high permeability of a batch of collars are discussed.

At present about 75% of the main dipoles for the LHC have been manufactured and one of the three cold mass assemblers has already completed the production. More than two third of the 1232 dipoles needed for the tunnel have been tested and accepted. In this paper we mainly deal with the performance results: the quench behavior, the magnetic field quality, the electrical integrity quality and the geometry features will be summarized. The variations in performance associated with different cold mass assemblers and superconducting cable origins will be discussed.
