átadásátvételi

Átadásátvételi, in Hungarian, refers to the formal process by which possession, responsibility, and often ownership of goods, works, or services are transferred from a seller, contractor, or service provider to a buyer or client. The term combines átadás (delivery) and átvétel (acceptance) and is usually documented in an átadás-átvételi jegyzőkönyv or a similar protocol. The moment of transfer is typically defined by the contract and may depend on meeting specified acceptance criteria rather than merely the act of delivery.

Common contexts for átadásátvételi include construction projects, procurement contracts, real estate transactions, industrial equipment deliveries, and IT projects. It serves to formalize the completion of phases, commissioning, or the final handover, providing a clear record of what has been delivered and accepted.

A typical átadásátvételi document includes several standard elements: the parties involved and the items or works delivered; a description and, if applicable, quantities and quality standards; the acceptance status and any defects or deviations; conformity with specifications and contractual conditions; test results or inspection outcomes; the date of transfer and the assignment of risk and ownership; warranties, remedies for defects, and any payment-related arrangements; and the signatures of authorized representatives, often accompanied by annexes such as photos, certificates, or test reports.

Process and effect: the document creates a formal record that transfer has occurred, clarifies responsibility for maintenance, insurance, taxes, and potential penalties, and may influence payment milestones and warranty periods. In public procurement and other sectors, the átadás-átvételi process aims to establish mutual certainty and a traceable handover trail, reducing disputes and enabling subsequent use or operation of the delivered goods or works.
