Question 390

A road contractor proposes reusing a batch of concrete whose test results fall below the engineering specification to prevent a delay. The team proposes this response: Quarantine nonconforming material and obtain an authorized engineering disposition and retest before placement. What observation MOST convincingly validates that the change worked?

  1. Site acceptance samples show configured devices meet operational needs and defects trend downward.
  2. Traceable test certificates and approved dispositions prove only conforming material entered the structure.
  3. The status baseline separates completed execution tasks from outstanding migration acceptance and rollback tests.
  4. The scope baseline explicitly identifies alarm integration, tests, and responsible interfaces.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

This measured result tests the stated action in the present scenario: Quarantine nonconforming material and obtain an authorized engineering disposition and retest before placement. The evidence is Traceable test certificates and approved dispositions prove only conforming material entered the structure.
