Who is responsible for Acceptance Phase Implement FPTs?

• A. Shared
• B. Internal Team
• C. CxA
• D. CxT

Answer: (C)

During the Acceptance Phase, the Commissioning Authority takes responsibility for implementing Functional Performance Tests. The CxA leads the effort by defining the FPTs, developing the test procedures, establishing the acceptance criteria, and coordinating the testing activities with the project team. They oversee the testing, collect and review results, verify that performance targets are met, and drive any necessary corrective actions until the tests pass and the owner can sign off. The actual hands-on testing is often performed by the Commissioning Technician or contractor staff under the CxA’s direction, but accountability for completing and documenting the tests, and for ensuring the tests align with design intent and owner requirements, rests with the CxA. The internal team and owner provide input and resources, but they do not own the testing process themselves in the acceptance phase.
