## Scope of this source

October 2021 owner specification; communications as-built requirements at printed section 27 15 00-4. Not a universal mandate.

The Smithsonian specification is an owner-specific example of required documentation and review. Rackstamp’s suggested handoff wording is original editorial language, not a quoted contractual requirement.

Rackstamp provides editorial field guidance. IDs, cases, and worksheet entries are fictional examples unless identified otherwise. Distinguish local conventions from adopted standards. Source notes describe the evidence scope; a linked overview is not the full standard or a project approval.
