1.2.2 DEFINITIONS
(a) Manufacturing Phase: the period during which the manufacture,

fabrication and assembly of the system, or a distinct element of the
system, is carried out off-Site;
(b) Factory Acceptance Test (FAT): the factory acceptance test(s)

required for materials / system components.
(c) Construction Phase: the period during which the fabrication, assembly
and installation of the system, or a distinct element of the system, is
carried out on-Site.
(d) Commissioning Phase: The process of advancing systems, beyond

the individual system start-ups, to a state of fully integrated,
demonstrated, and documented operational order, according to design
documents, during which the Employer’s operating personnel is
instructed in correct integrated systems operations. Commissioning
includes performance testing to demonstrate that the integrated
equipment and systems meet Contract performance requirements. This
is achieved by beginning in the design phase and documenting design
intent and continuing through construction, acceptance and the warranty
period with actual verification of performance.
The commissioning process shall encompass and coordinate system

documentation, equipment start-up, control system calibration, testing
and balancing, performance testing and training.
Commissioning during the construction phase is intended to achieve

the following specific objectives according to the Contract Documents:
 Verify that applicable equipment and systems are installed

according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and to industry
accepted standards.
 Verify and document proper performance of equipment and
systems;
 Verify that the delivered O&M documentation is thorough and
complete;
 Verify that the Employer’s operating personnel are adequately
trained.
 Identification of deficiency or areas needing remedial actions and
required timing for completion, such as, immediate need to
complete test before further work or future testing, or before
system handover.
(e) Commissioning Plan: an overall plan, developed du ring the

construction Phase t hat provides the structure, schedule and
____________________________________________________________________________________
Page 5 of 68
coordination planning for the entire testing and commissioning

process.
(f) Final Acceptance Phase (FAP): the period when the system
functional and performance tests are carried out in the presence of the
Employer to demonstrate the system as a whole complies with the
operational requirements of the Contract.
(g) Functional Performance Test: test of the dynamic function and

operation of equipment and systems using manual (direct observation)
or monitoring methods; includes Static and Start-up (Energising) tests.
Functional testing is the dynamic testing of systems (rather than just
components) under full operation (e.g., the Chiller pump is tested
interactively with the Chiller functions to see if the pump ramps up
and down to maintain the differential pressure set-point). Systems are
tested under various modes, such as during low cooling or heating
loads, high loads, component failures, unoccupied premises, varying
outside air temperatures, fire alarm, power failure, etc. The systems
are run through all the control system’s sequences of operation and
components are verified to be responding as the sequences state.
Contractor shall develop the functional test procedures in a sequential
written form, coordinates, oversees and documents the actual testing,
which is usually performed by the installing contractor or vendor. FT’s
are performed after pre-functional checklists and start-ups are
complete.
(h) Individual Component Tests: tests on a specific component or piece

of equipment. Examples are miscellaneous factory tests, Emergency
Generators, etc.
(i) Integrated Systems Tests: integrate various “stand-alone” systems

into a coordinated set of integrated systems functioning together.
Examples include Fire Alarm System/Smoke Evacuation
System/Elevator & Escalator Controls all functioning in unison.
(j) Manual Tests: using hand-held instruments, immediate control

system readouts or direct observation to verify performance
(contrasted to analysing monitored data taken over time to make the
“observation”).
(k) Static Tests: I nitially, equipment and systems are visually inspected
to verify that all components have in fact been installed and that
installation is in accordance with contractual and technical
requirements. Physical testing of the electrical and mechanical
systems is then performed, with none of the equipment or systems
energized or operating. Test includes verification of circuits,
terminations, power circuits and pipe work pressure tests.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Page 6 of 68
(l) System Tests: involves testing a complete “stand-alone” system and

all of its components. Examples would be the electrical power
distribution system, water supply system, etc.
(m) Device Testing & Inspections: shall be performed on all devices that
have stand alone soft test features. All visual status indication lights
shall be checked for proper operation and inspections shall include all
external visual inspections to ensure that the device has the same
features, colours, dimensions as per the material submittal.

5.0 OVERVIEW OF COMMISSIONING STRATEGY

5.1 TESTING STRATEGY
The fundamental testing strategy is that during the manufacturing, construction
and commissioning phases of the works, system requirements as detailed in
the technical specifications are verified by inspection, test(s) or submission(s)
which provide test analysis or product data to prove that a specification
requirement(s) have been met. During the acceptance phase of the works a
subset of this testing is again repeated in the presence of the Employer during
the Final Acceptance Tests prior to the taking over of the works.
5.2 STAGES OF THE PROJECT
5.2.1 DESIGN/PLANNING PHASE
5.2.1.1 COMMISSIONABILITY STUDY

To enable a degree of services familiarisation ???? will carry out a review of all

specialist suppliers/manufacturers design & shop drawings to ensure all
standards are adhered too and that all commissioning requirements are
incorporated.
5.2.1.2 PRODUCTION OF COMMISSIONING PROGRAMME

???? will produce an integrated Commissioning Programme incorporating all
services, project sectors, segments and zone requirements, including device
and sub-system tests. The Programme will be compiled within the constraints of
the published contract & construction programmes. The Programme will show
all key milestones together with all inter relationships and all interface between
systems and external services.

 Typical Unit Demonstration
 Factory Inspection Only
Each test shall be recorded, witnessed and certified in accordance with both the
manufacturers’ standard quality inspection process and with the project specific
requirements (if any).
____________________________________________________________________________________
Page 19 of 68
All records and witnessing of test, provision of certificates and the like shall be
in accordance with project requirements.
QA certificates from all manufacturers/suppliers shall be provided not only for

the item of equipment/material tested, but also where available, for all individual
components of the equipment.
Any sub-manufacturers/sub-suppliers who have carried out individual

component tests shall also submit test certificates and test records as and
where available.
All test records and/or certificates for all components or items of

equipment/material shall contain the following information:
 Equipment/Item Description
 Order number and original manufacturer’s name
 Date of Test
 Component/Item Identification Number
 Component/Item Serial Number
 Type of Test conducted
 Result of Test and Comments thereon
FAT shall be carried out either on each product type/item of equipment, giving a
typical test result and certificate, guaranteeing that other items within the
product type/range of equipment will conform to these results, and/or on each
individual product type/item of equipment whereby each item shall have
individual test results and certifications.
During any system installation as a pre-commissioning requirement, individual

device tests shall be performed.
5.2.2 CONSTRUCTION PHASE

During this phase of the Works, installation of the services will be monitored
and reported on by ???? with a particular regard to the commencement of the
testing and commissioning. The monitoring will pay particular attention to the
status of any installation, when individual device tests can commence, and the
conformity of the installation to the specification with regard to ensuring such
installation is completed to ensure testing and commissioning can be carried
out with the least possible problems. (i.e. ease of access to equipment, lines
and levels of conduit, pipe or other linear installations, connectivity to power and
water etc.). This will be implemented through a number of processes these are
5.2.2.1 SERVICES INSTALLATION MONITORING

installation of the systems with a particular reference to construction /
commissioning programmes and schedules.
These documents will be referred to as Commissioning Activity Schedules
(CAS sheets) and will monitor the installation, pre-commissioning,
commissioning progress and handover of each piece of plant/equipment. ????
will put in place a formal handover document from the installation team to the
commissioning team prior to any pre-commissioning and commissioning
commencing.
CAS sheets will form the basis for monitoring all commissioning works and
contain the exact status of each system. Part of their function is to detail
systems which do not meet the specification requirements and the remedial
actions required to finalise those systems.
5.2.2.3 MONITOR IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMISSIONING

REVIEW (COMMISSIONABILITY STUDY)
???? will follow up on their Commissionability study as described in section
5.2.1.1 to ensure all agreed comments/additional devices etc as requested are

5.2.3 COMMISSIONING & HANDOVER
5.2.3.1 GENERAL
Commissioning includes setting to work, testing & balancing and performance
testing to demonstrate adequacy of the system, and complete verification of the
performance of all the systems and services.
The process shall encompass all system documentation, start-up and

continuous (time period) testing, calibrations, testing & balancing, training and
after all results are accepted, inclusion into the final Operation and Maintenance
Manuals.
It is intended that the commissioning process achieves the following:
 Verification that equipment and systems are installed correctly in

accordance with the contract documents, the manufacturers’
recommendations and good industry practice.
 Verification of correct performance of all equipment and systems
 Verify that the Operational & Maintenance documentation is complete,
adequate, and understandable and has been produced and delivered in
accordance with the contract.
 Identification of any faults / failures and the requirement of remedial
actions as to whether these are to be carried out prior, during or after the
Final Acceptance Tests.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Page 23 of 68
Upon complete installation of any individual equipment component or complete

system a series of precedent actions need to be undertaken before actual
system commissioning takes place. These are generally divided into the
following categories:
 Equipment & System Inspections

 Individual component/equipment tests
 Sub-System Functional Tests
 Segmental System tests
 Laboratory Tests
 Zone Testing
 Individual Integration/Interface tests
 Full system commissioning
 Final Acceptance Tests
5.2.3.2 INSPECTION, TESTING & COMMISSIONING
(a) Equipment & System Inspections

Prior to any equipment being put into operation the factory authorised service
representative shall carry out a field service report and this will be issued to the
Engineer for witnessing and approval.
These pre-commissioning inspections verify the type of equipment/system

installed the conformity to the contract specifications and the correctness of any
installation.
Generally visual, but with a “working” test to confirm power/service connections

are approved and ready for system/equipment service.
(b) Individual Component / Equipment Tests

Tests on specific components or items of equipment within a system should
verify that these items and/or components meet the specification requirements,
are fit for their intended purpose and operate in a manner as required by the
system design.
Test on power and service connections, reliability of components, operating

levels, (both at static and peak operational levels), integration and interface
connection confirmations and readout/report system confirmation are required
under this section.
(c) Sub-System Functional Tests

Each sub-system shall be tested as a “stand alone” system, verifying that the
sub-system is operational in its own right.
(d) Segmental System Tests

Many systems are subdivided into segmental systems and each segment
should be tested as if it were both a “Stand-alone” system and as part of the
____________________________________________________________________________________
Page 24 of 68
overall system. This provides information on each segment of the system and
provides for easier identification of any faults and/or failures which can then be
rectified without having to investigate the whole system to find any such fault
and/or failure.
(e) Zone Testing

The project is divided into specific construction zones. This may require part
systems located within these zones to be tested separately so as to clearly
identify if any fault and/or failure is evident within any particular zone. As with
segmental tests this provides for easier identification of any such fault and/or
failure within a system or sub-system.
(f) Individual Integration & Interface Tests

Full integration and interface testing with all systems, services and linked
components. These tests are to ensure all systems work with and between the
interfaces as described in the specifications.
(g) Full System Commissioning

As each system or service is completed and “linked: by the interface/integration
requirement, full system tests should be carried out. In some instances these
will be conducted in an “operational” simulation and in similar conditions.
However, other “operational” tests will be carried out by the Client during the
Initial Proving Period (IPP) after substantial completion and handing over of the
facility.
(h) Final Acceptance Tests

Bringing commissioned systems to a state of full “dynamic” operation, under
working conditions and in simulated “failure” situations. All modes should be
included, such as seasonal environmental conditions (simulated where
possible), occupied and unoccupied building situations, part and full load
conditions, load shedding conditions both essential and emergency situations.
In each of the above instances testing activities will include (but may not be
limited to) the following:
 Calibration – adjusting instrumentation using known parameters and

specified tolerances.
 Visual Checks – inspections and/or manual adjustments to ensure
correct installation
 Coordination – to ensure all relevant parties are integrated into the
commissioning teams and carry out the functions and approvals
designated to them.
 Demonstrations – to show the adequate and satisfactory operability of
any equipment or system, including showing how instructions and
information within the operation & maintenance manuals are adequate,
precise and clear.
 Technical Assistance – by any specialist engineer or manufacturers
representative to ensure that recommended procedures and technical
instructions are followed.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Page 25 of 68
 Testing – by the application of voltage, pressures, mechanical or natural

forces, or other input, to establish integrity of the installation and
equipment.
 Logic Proving – to ensure that the logic of any control system conforms
to design schematics and diagrams.
 Verification – to ensure that all equipment and systems conforms to its
intended purpose.
