A pump fails a functional performance test during commissioning. What should happen next?
Correct Answer
C) Log the issue, assign responsibility, correct the cause, and retest.
Commissioning deficiencies are tracked through correction and verification.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Commissioning deficiencies are tracked through correction and verification.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: The project manager should hide the result from the owner
In general project requirements, Hide the result from the owner. is the wrong selection for Commissioning deficiency: it leaves the work at an informal or incomplete stage, while Commissioning deficiency requires Log the issue, assign responsibility, correct the cause, and retest.
Option B: Make release final retainage immediately the answer for commissioning deficiency
The trap in B is Release final retainage immediately. That selection is wrong because it names a financial document or payment mechanism, not the Commissioning deficiency action/result stated by Log the issue, assign responsibility, correct the cause, and retest.; Commissioning failures are logged, corrected, and retested.
Option D: Convert the failed test into a warranty certificate
Choice D (Convert the failed test into a warranty certificate.) is rejected because it points to Convert the failed test into a warranty certificate. but.
Memory Technique
Use the phrase "problem, control, result" for commissioning deficiency; the result side is Log the issue, assign responsibility, correct the cause, and retest.
Reference Hint
