What does the G designation require?

• A. Government approval required
• B. Designer of record approval required
• C. Requires government conformance review
• D. Requires designer of record approval and government approval

Answer: (A)

G designation means the government must review and approve the submittal before it can be used or proceed. In construction QA, designations on submittals indicate who has to sign off, and the G tag places that control squarely in the government’s hands. This ensures that the submittal complies with contract documents, codes, and safety requirements as reviewed by the government engineer or authorized reviewer. It does not require designer of record approval as part of this designation, and a government conformance review or dual approval by the designer of record would be handled through other designations or contract provisions. So, the essential point is that government approval is required for items bearing the G designation.
