Upon final acceptance of the system by the AHJ, the Record of Completion is used to document acceptance. The technician conducting these tests submits the completed form to which parties?

• A. The owner and The AHJ.
• B. The installer.
• C. The AHJ only.
• D. The manufacturer.

Answer: (A)

When a system is finally accepted, the Record of Completion serves as official proof that the installation passed required tests and meets codes. The technician who conducts these tests submits the completed form to both the building owner and the AHJ. The AHJ needs a copy to close out the permit and keep regulatory records, while the owner needs the documentation for building operations, future service, and potential inspections. Submitting only to the AHJ leaves the owner without proof of acceptance, and sending it only to the manufacturer or installer doesn’t provide the official record to the parties responsible for ongoing ownership and compliance.
