Specifications must clearly indicate who is witnessing and documenting start-
up of each commissioned system. Specifications must also clearly indicate
who is writing, directing, conducting and documenting functional tests. The
Commissioning Agent and the A/E must work together to ensure that commis-
sioning requirements are fully integrated and coordinated in the project
specifications.
Written Test Procedures
Written functional test procedures define the means and methods to carry out
system/intersystem tests during the construction phase. To the extent possible
these test procedures shall be defined by the Commissioning Team in the Design
Stage and written into contractors' scopes of work. Test procedures will neces-
sarily be refined early in the construction phase based on the submittal process.
Tests procedures provide the following:
