A Field Technician must take responsibility for performing the required acceptance requirements procedures. All of the required acceptance tests for a project need not be performed by the same Field Technician. However, for each acceptance test performed, the Field Technician who performs the test is responsible for identifying all performance deficiencies, ensuring that they are corrected, and if necessary, he must repeat the acceptance requirement procedures until the specified systems and equipment are performing in accordance with the acceptance requirements. The Field Technician who performs the testing must sign the Certificate of Acceptance to certify the information he has provided to document the results of the acceptance procedures is true and correct.
A licensed contractor, architect, or engineer (Responsible Person), who is eligible under Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code in the applicable classification, must take responsibility for the scope of work specified by the Certificate of Acceptance, and must review the test results from the acceptance requirement procedures provided by the Field Technician, and sign the Certificate of Acceptance to certify compliance with the acceptance requirements. Regardless of who performs the tests, a Responsible Person must review the forms and sign off on them. The Responsible Person may also perform the Field Technician's responsibilities, and must then also sign the Field Technician declaration on the Certificate of Acceptance to certify that the information on the form is true and correct.
