Document background
The Certificate of Final Acceptance is a crucial document used in Danish business and construction practice to formally conclude the delivery phase of a project or contract. It is typically issued after a successful completion of works, delivery of goods, or provision of services, and following any required testing or inspection periods. The certificate confirms that all contractual obligations have been met, any prior provisional acceptance requirements have been satisfied, and the works or deliverables are accepted without reservation (or with noted minor exceptions). Under Danish law, this document carries significant legal weight as it typically triggers the start of warranty periods, releases final payments or retention monies, and transfers full responsibility to the client. The Certificate of Final Acceptance is particularly important in construction, engineering, and major procurement contracts, where it provides clear documentation of project completion and acceptance for all parties involved.
