It supports insurance claims, real estate disclosures, and ongoing maintenance tracking with a clear timestamped snapshot of device condition.
Use by these groups creates a reliable chain of custody for inspection data and helps satisfy regulatory, leasing, or insurance requirements.

A licensed or certified inspector authorized by the issuing agency should sign to certify the test method and results. The inspector's signature, license number, and company details enable regulatory validation and provide legal attribution for the inspection.
The owner or designated property manager or agent should countersign to acknowledge receipt of results and any required corrective action. Owner attestation confirms awareness and transfers responsibility for follow-up maintenance or repairs.
