Which role is responsible for Acceptance Phase Direct FPTs?

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

Answer: (C)

Acceptance Phase Direct Functional Performance Tests are led by the Commissioning Authority. The CxA plans, coordinates, and conducts these tests to verify that equipment and systems perform to the design intent and meet the defined performance criteria before occupancy. They develop the test procedures, collect and review data, address any deviations, and document the results for acceptance. This independence from the contractor helps ensure objective verification and a clear sign-off process. The other roles may assist in testing, or handle project management aspects, but the direct performance verification during acceptance is the CxA’s responsibility.
