For Unit No. 1, pre-operation tests were in the presence of inspectors from the Agency.

It is similar to receiveing a prize for something like the Nobel Prize.
Then you either accept or refuse.

But what on earth is a certificate of conformance? Do you mean certificate of compliance?

This one is interesting. The above answers are adequate, but with acceptance, it would make it appear that the person receiving the certificate was doing the certificate giver a favour. While the contrary is more probable. The inspectors accepted the results.
