Who is responsible for Post-Acceptance Phase Direct Warranty Issues?

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

Answer: (D)

Direct warranty issues after acceptance fall under the Commissioning Authority’s (CxA) purview. The CxA is the owner’s representative for the commissioning process and is responsible for ensuring that systems perform to the agreed criteria not just at handover, but also over the post-acceptance period as warranty work arises. This includes tracking issues that surface after occupancy, coordinating with contractors to implement corrective actions, and verifying that those actions meet the original design and performance requirements before closing out the warranty items. The CxA maintains the records, validates fixes, and ensures proper documentation for warranty claims, providing a clear owner-focused point of accountability. Internal teams or a Commissioning Technician typically handle day-to-day testing or on-site tasks, but the formal ownership for warranty issue resolution in the post-acceptance phase rests with the CxA, while “shared” implies vagueness and lacks a single accountable party.
