The Construction Industry holds many legal opinions regarding the proper shop drawing stamp language. Liability emerges from the shop drawing approval process. Shop Drawing procedures vary, as well as the stamp language used. We have several options to choose from to accommodate your preferences.

 The most commonly used Shop Drawing/Submittal Review stamp is: 

This Option 1 Shop Drawing stamp comes with standard check boxes
and paragraph verbiage :

• Approved
• Approve with Changes Noted
• Revise and Resubmit
• Rejected

SUBMITTAL WAS REVIEWED FOR DESIGN CONFORMITY AND 

GENERAL CONFORMANCE TO CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

CONFIRMING AND CORRELATING DIMENSIONS AT JOBSITE

PROCESSES AND TECHNIQUES OF CONSTRUCTION,

And finally, Option 5, variation is in the check boxes.
Paragraph verbiage is the same as Option 1, 2 &4.

According to many sources,  Professionals' Liability Insurance does not allow for marking Shop Drawings as 'Approved'.  As such, we provide a Shop Drawing Submittal Review stamp here with our Option 5 stamp that better aligns with that theology, via the check boxes of this stamp.
