Approval

What is waiting for approval, what blocks each one, and who may give it.

Why

Every refusal is checked in the page, again in the write service, and again by a database constraint.

Writes are validated against the engineering rules and then refused, because no database has been configured for this environment.

The author may not approve their own work

Every other rule on this page stops a specific mistake. This one exists because approval is the point at which somebody becomes answerable for a document, and a signature on your own work is not an attestation.

Deliverables awaiting approval
Deliverable	Title	Author	Checker	Approver	What blocks it
ZRF-CMP-0007	Commissioning Procedure - Cooling Water System 31	J. Novak	S. Lindqvist	none assigned	open gap: Commissioning sequence: the system boundary for SYS-31-01 is in dispute open blocking comment: The system boundary for SYS-31-01 is taken from the drawn boundary on ZRF-PID-3101. The commissioning breakdown disagrees about HV-3101.
ZRF-HTP-0015	Hydrotest Procedure - Condensate Export System 12	A. Rahman	N. Okonkwo	none assigned	open gap: Approved test pressure basis: the design pressure of P-1201A is in conflict between the datasheet and the line list open blocking comment: The test pressure basis cites the line list, which states 26 barg, while the datasheet for P-1201A states 24 barg. The derived test pressure cannot be stated until this is resolved. open blocking comment: Acceptance criteria state a 2 hour hold. Appendix D requires the hold to be witnessed; the procedure does not say who witnesses it or what they sign.
ZRF-ITP-0008	Inspection and Test Plan - Condensate Export Piping Supports	N. Okonkwo	A. Rahman	R. Haddad	Nothing

Approval while an input gap is open
Approval while a blocking comment is open
Approval by somebody without the approver capability

Approval with no independent check behind it

Administering is not authority

Approval needs the capability, granted by name. Why
