Production Acceptance Procedures (PAP)

The RV-12is PAP says "ASTM F 3035-13 states that the manufacturer (Van's Aircraft) shall maintain a Quality Assurance Record (QAR) for each LSA produced. The QAR shall consist of (among other records)"Applicable final inspection records, check, and test documentation from the production acceptance procedures"

I presume "test documentation" is the builder completed and signed PAP. My question is how and when is this provided to Vans to become part of that aircraft's QAR? The subject of the PAP and the certification process has been discussed before, but I have not seen a crisp answer to this question.
 
If memory serves, the PAP states that it does not need to be sent to Vans. Retain for your own records.
