  2. Confirm the tester is accepted through the governing tester-list or approval route before the report is filed.
  3. File the result through the stored submission path: Anaheim cross connection control, Anaheim standard specifications.

  5. If the assembly failed, follow the repair, retest, and resubmission sequence before assuming compliance is restored.
