Who is responsible for Acceptance Phase Control SOP Review?

• A. CxA
• B. CxT
• C. Shared
• D. CxP

Answer: (B)

In the Acceptance Phase, the procedures that govern how tests are performed and how results are judged are put into practice by the person who will execute them—the Commissioning Technician. This role must review the Acceptance Phase Control SOPs to ensure they are clear, complete, and workable in the field: they cover test steps, data collection methods, instrumentation, acceptance criteria, safety, and reporting. By understanding and validating these procedures before testing starts, the technician helps prevent gaps or ambiguities that could derail the tests. The Commissioning Authority oversees the overall process and signs off on results, but the direct review and execution of acceptance procedures belong to the technician. The owner/authority sets goals and criteria, but they don’t typically perform the hands-on SOP review for acceptance tests. Therefore, the Commissioning Technician is the person responsible for Acceptance Phase Control SOP Review.
