Pre-commissioning Checklist
General
Check that time schedules enable the intended operation at the correct times.
Check the correct operation of the interlocks by individually switching interlocked items of plant.
Check all safety interlocks, e.g electro-thermal links and emergency knocks off buttons etc.
Control Systems
Check the specified interlocking between different control systems, for example any interlocking between a fire detection system
Check that the specified temperature interlocks operate correctly, e.g low temperature frost protection.
Check for the correct sequencing control in response to varying inputs operates in the correct order and at the desired set points
Check for the correct control and operation on start-up and shutdown. Check that the defined restart routine operates correctly when power is reinstated
Check that controllers maintain settings information of the control approach for a defined duration when the energy of the mains is wasted.
Check that the condition of any volatile data protection system is regularly and automatically monitored.
Check that an alarm is raised on loss of data by any controller or other device and/or failure of the monitoring system.
Check that the control system operates correctly under generator standby and UPS power if applicable
