1. Introduction

The procedures stated in this Testing and Commissioning (T&C) Procedure cover the activities
in preliminary tests and inspections, functional performance tests and the commissioning of
newly completed Installations and existing ones after major alteration. They are so compiled to
facilitate the work of Project Building Services Engineer (PBSE) and Project Building Services
Inspector (PBSI) / Project Electrical and Mechanical Inspector (PEMI), who are appointed as
the Supervising Officer’s Representatives, in the following aspects with respect to testing and
commissioning :

(a) to vet and approve the T&C procedures proposed and submitted by the contractor for
the Catering Equipment Installation (Contractor);

(b) to witness those T&C procedures as specified; and

(c) to accept the T&C certificates and other supporting data.

may be proposed as appropriate and agreed by PBSE.

The administrative requirements for T&C works are in general as specified in the General
Specification for Building Services Installation 2022 Edition and all current
corrigenda/amendments thereto published before the date of first tender invitation for the Contract
issued by the ArchSD (the General Specification).

All words and expressions shall have the meaning as assigned to them under the General
Specification unless otherwise specified herein.

2. Objectives of the Testing and Commissioning Works

The objectives of the T&C works are:

(a) to verify proper functioning of the equipment/system after installation;

(b) to verify that the performance of the installed equipment/systems meet with the
specified design intent and statutory requirements, if any, through a series of tests and
adjustments; and

(c) to capture and record performance data of the whole Installation as the baseline for

3. Scope of the Testing and Commissioning Works

3.1 Tests and Inspections 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, it shall ensure that the Installations comply with all relevant statutory
requirements and regulations. The T&C works shall also comply with all site safety regulatory
requirements currently in force. In particular, the Contractor shall note the statutory requirements
listed in the General Specification in carrying out the works.

3.2 Functional Performance Tests

The purpose of functional performance tests is to demonstrate that the Installations can meet the
functional and performance requirements as specified in the Contract. Functional performance
tests should proceed from the testing of individual components to the testing of different systems
in the Installations.

Temporary modifications may be made as the tests proceed. The specific tests required and the
order of tests will vary depending on the type and size of systems, number of systems, sequence of
construction, interface with other installations, relationship with the building elements and other
specific requirements as indicated in the Contract. The testing of systems may have to be carried
out in stages depending on the progress of work or as proposed.

Part of the tests may be required to be carried out in suppliers’ premises in accordance with the
provisions as specified in the Contract.

Any performance deficiencies revealed during the functional performance tests must be evaluated
to determine the cause. After completion of the necessary corrective measures, the tests shall be
repeated as appropriate.

If any test cannot be completed because of circumstances that are beyond the control, it shall be
properly documented and reported to the PBSE, who shall then liaise with the relevant parties to
resolve the situation. The testing shall be resumed immediately upon the attainment of a suitable
testing environment.

3.3 Commissioning, Statutory Tests and Inspections

Commissioning is the advancement of the Installations from the stage of static completion to full
working conditions and to meet the performance requirements as specified in the Contract. This
will include setting into operation and regulation of the Installations. Fine-tuning of the
commissioned system shall be carried out to match system performance to the actual needs of the
building occupier more closely.
