OMMISSIONING
Start-up and inspection checklist shall comprise the checks and tests to
determine that all components, equipment, subsystems, systems, and
interfaces between systems operate in accordance with specifications
and construction documents, including all modes and sequences of
control operation, interlocks and conditional control responses, and
specified responses to abnormal or emergency conditions.
The results of the start-up and check-out shall be documented and must
be performed according to the manufacturer’s written instructions for the
systems and equipment being commissioned, and the as-fitted
construction documents.
Certificates of readiness shall be prepared by the commissioning agent
verifying that start-up and inspections have been successfully completed
and that all equipment, systems, and controls are complete and ready for
functional performance testing.
After initial inspection and checking has been verified each sequence in
the sequence of operations shall be tested, including the following:
start-up;
shutdown;
unoccupied and manual modes;
modulation up and down the unit’s range of capacity, if applicable;
staging, if applicable;
power failure/power down;
alarms;
backup upon failure; and
interlocks with other equipment.
The commissioning authority shall verify that:
initial inspections, start-up and checking were successfully
completed;
every point of the control system has been checked and that a
minimum sample of each type of control point is commanding,
reporting and controlling as specified in the as-fitted construction
documents;
if any control point in the sample is not functioning as specified,
then an additional sample shall be checked, until all control points
in the sample are found to be performing as specified;
a minimum sample of each type of sensor has been calibrated so
that the value reported in the control system represents the actual
