Document ID
Unique project identifier and revision number so every relay is traceable across project records and change logs, avoiding duplicate or outdated versions.
A complete Installation Relay Document reduces rework, clarifies liability during the handoff, and records acceptance conditions for warranty and invoicing. It creates an auditable trail of responsibility and timelines that supports dispute resolution and regulatory compliance where applicable.
The Installation Relay Document is completed by operational teams to signal transfer of scope, often when work moves from installation to commissioning or client acceptance.
Use consistent role names and contact info so downstream teams can confirm responsibilities without delay.
Unique project identifier and revision number so every relay is traceable across project records and change logs, avoiding duplicate or outdated versions.
Full street address, site code, and specific building or room identifiers to ensure equipment and acceptance are tied to the correct physical location and asset.
High-level description of work completed and delivered items, with references to detailed drawings or purchase orders that define exact deliverables and scope limits.
Pass/fail results, test protocols used, and any conditions for conditional acceptance; include timestamps and tester names for auditability.
Punch-list entries with responsible party, action due dates, and expected resolution windows so acceptance is not delayed by minor defects.
Clear signatory blocks naming the transferring and receiving parties with printed names, titles, dates, and method of signing (electronic or handwritten).
| Field | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Template | Create a reusable template with required fields and fixed scope references. |
| Conditional Fields | Display punch-list fields only when tests record failures. |
| Authentication | Require email or SMS verification for external signers. |
| Integrations | Connect to PM/ERP systems for automatic status updates. |
Choose a platform that supports required file formats and preserves a tamper-evident audit trail for each signed relay.
Ensure the chosen platform stores signed copies and metadata (IP, timestamp) so the relay remains reproducible and defensible.
Author submits relay within 48 hours after installation completion.
Inspector must review and respond within 5 business days.
Contractor resolves items within agreed cure periods, typically 10–30 days.
Receiver signs acceptance after verification, documenting date and method.
Retention begins on the acceptance date recorded on the relay.
