What does the A designation indicate?

• A. Government approval only
• B. Requires designer of record approval and government approval
• C. For information only
• D. Requires designer of record approval and government conformance review

Answer: (B)

An A designation means you must have both the designer of record’s approval and the government’s approval before the submittal can proceed. The designer of record is the licensed professional responsible for the design, so their sign-off confirms the submittal matches the design intent, specs, and contract requirements. The government approval adds regulatory and contract conformance oversight, ensuring the work meets applicable standards and agency expectations. Together, they ensure the design is correct and compliant before construction moves forward. This isn’t just information or a simple conformance check; it requires formal endorsements from both parties.
