Chapter 3 Commissioning Process Code requirements for commissioning should be documented and completed as required by the applicable code or standard.
Fundamentals The following documentation should be provided for each instance of an applicable commissioning requirement in an applicable code or standard:
Chapter 4 Code Compliance with a. Applicable code requirements, with code section reference numbers and including any environmental, sustainability, or efficiency requirements of
New Building Commissioning those codes.
Process b. Description of technical approach to compliance.
c. Equipment and systems to be commissioned.
d. Specific process requirements for the commissioning of each element, including: logs, reviews, reports, evaluations, testing and documentation
requirements.
e. Training requirements where required.
f. Documentation requirements.
The following checklist in the 2018 IECC can be used to verify project commissioning completion for specific systems. This checklist is similar to the
commissioning documentation checklist in section 4.7.9 in this guideline. Either or both checklists may be used as appropriate to the AHJ’s compliance
requirements.
