Who is responsible for keeping records of all leak inspections and any completed leak repair verification tests?

• A. The owner and/or operator of the equipment
• B. The service contractor
• C. The manufacturer
• D. The regulator

Answer: (A)

The person or entity responsible for keeping records of all leak inspections and any completed leak repair verification tests is the owner or operator of the equipment. This is because they’re the ones who own, manage, and must ensure compliance for the facility, so they maintain the official documentation of inspections, repairs, and verification tests. The service contractor may perform the work and provide notes or reports, but the formal records belong to the owner/operator. Manufacturers provide the equipment and guidance, and regulators set reporting requirements, but neither typically holds the site’s complete records.
