Document background
The Project Acceptance Letter is a critical document in Swiss business practice, used at the culmination of project delivery phases to formally document the acceptance of deliverables. It is particularly important under Swiss law, where formal documentation of contractual relationships is emphasized. The document is typically issued after successful completion of acceptance testing or inspection, and serves multiple purposes: it triggers payment obligations, initiates warranty periods, and transfers risk from the supplier to the accepting organization. The letter should be carefully drafted to comply with Swiss Code of Obligations requirements and should clearly document any reservations, outstanding items, or conditions attached to the acceptance. This document type is essential in creating legal certainty for both parties and is often required for audit and compliance purposes.
