What is Commissioning Management?
•The execution of commissioning management procedures that control and monitor the project from commencement to practical completion and beyond
•The procedures should provide traceability of the commissioning activities
•This should result in documentary evidence illustrating the completeness of a project to the original design intent

•Factory Acceptance Testing Phase 0 Factory Acceptance Tests – Conducted to determine and document the equipment
•Static Testing hardware and software operates according to Phase 1 specification, covering functional, fault
•Power On management, communications, support •Commissioning Phase 2 •Site Acceptance systems, and interface requirements. Particularly important are highly integrated •Integration systems. Phase 3 •Completion Review
Commissioning Elements & Phases
•Factory Acceptance Testing Static Tests – Ready to energise, installation Phase 0 complete. Undertaken on assets in a non‐ energised state, in order to confirm that the •Static Testing Phase 1 systems installation have been constructed in accordance with the design and specifications •Power On •Commissioning and that the following stage of the testing can Phase 2 •Site Acceptance commence without uncontrolled safety risks and with confidence that they will not cause •Integration Phase 3 •Completion Review and damage or malfunction. Examples include hdhydrostati c tests and contiiinuity tests.
