When the Acceptance Checklist requires physical completion, what must it include?

• A. Identification of the person who performed the acceptance check
• B. Date of acceptance
• C. Signature of the shipper
• D. Weight of the goods

Answer: (A)

Identifying who performed the physical acceptance check is essential because it creates a clear, traceable record of accountability for the inspection and decision to accept the goods. Knowing the exact person responsible ensures there is someone who can be contacted if issues arise, and it verifies that the check was actually carried out. While dates, signatures, or weights can appear on related documents, they do not establish who conducted the acceptance check, which is the key purpose of the physical completion requirement.
