For the avoidance of doubt, depending on the specific demands of individual
installation, the PBSE may require additional or substitute T & C works in regard to any
elements in the installation other than those indicated in this Procedure.
3. Scope of the Testing and Commissioning (T&C) Works
3.1 Preliminary Steps for Testing and Commissioning
Before carrying out T&C, the Contractor shall take the following steps:
(a) Submit draft T&C procedures to the PBSE for approval. The draft
T&C procedures shall include essential procedures mentioned in this
procedure plus additional T&C procedures required for specific
installations as well as manufacturer’s recommendation;
(b) Obtain design drawings and specifications and to be thoroughly
acquainted with the design intent;
(c) Obtain copies of approved shop drawings and equipment schedules;
(d) Review approved shop drawings and equipment schedules;
(e) Check manufacturer’s operating instructions and statutory
requirements;
(f) Physically inspect the installation and equipment to determine
variations from designs and/or specifications.
(g) Check individual components, e.g. key switches, control equipment,
circuit breaker status, etc. for proper position and settings for
completeness of installation.
(h) Check inclusion of manufacturer’s typical equipment testing data or
factors before T&C of particular equipment.
3.2 Testing and Inspection during Construction
The purpose of these tests is to ensure that all components and systems are in a
satisfactory and safe condition before start up. Preliminary adjustment and
setting of equipment at this stage shall also be carried out at the same time to
pave way for the coming functional performance tests.
Before carrying out any test, the Contractor shall ensure that the installation
complies with all relevant statutory requirements and regulations. The T&C
works shall comply with all site safety regulatory requirements currently in
force, including but not limited to:
(i) Electricity Ordinance, Chapter 406, and other subsidiary legislation
