A handover signature is a sentence
Original diagram. Not a site record.
Three acts get one word. A tester signs that a named scope was proved, not proved, or proved only for the systems named. An owner signs turnover for the scope that was run. An operator signs that they can run what was handed over, with the stops and the open items in view. The third act is the one that will be questioned on a later morning. It is not a countersignature on the tester's pack.
If the page says the building is commissioned, and the pack only ran a liquid verification in a finished hall, the page is wider than the evidence. Do not fix that with a footnote. Replace the sentence, or refuse. A footnote under a wide sentence is how the wide sentence gets quoted.
Read it before the meeting, including the attachments it incorporates by reference. "Including all appendices" includes the empty tabs. Strike those words, or you have signed the empties.
A warranty or a payment clock that starts on the same paragraph is their commercial problem. Split the page. Your name does not repair a form that makes payment depend on a lie about the file.
