Acceptance Rules
- Use residual-risk acceptance only for items that have an identified owner and interim control.
- Do not accept deferred work that blocks safety, protection, fire interface, or grid-code compliance unless the responsible authority formally approves the operating restriction.
- Record the original punch-list or nonconformance ID in
Source Item ID so reviewers can trace the full decision.
- State whether the risk affects safety, reliability, performance, documentation, commercial closeout, or operations.
- Confirm that operations staff know the interim control before handover.
Approval Questions
- Who owns the risk after handover?
- What operating condition or system state is allowed while the item remains open?
- What evidence is required to close the residual-risk item?
- Does the target close date align with warranty, commercial operation, or grid-owner commitments?
- Has the residual risk been added to the handover document index?
