Introduction
The procedures stated in this document 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) in the following aspects with
respect to testing and commissioning (T & C):(i)

to vet and approve the T & C procedures proposed and submitted by

the Contractor;

(ii)

to witness those T & C procedures as specified; and

(iii)

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

The Contractor shall carry out the T & C works as detailed in this document.
Supplementary T & C plans may be proposed by the Contractor as appropriate
and agreed by PBSE, e.g. for special equipment supplied and/or installed by the
Contractor.
The administrative requirements for T & C works are in general as specified in
the latest General Specification for Swimming Pool Water Treatment
Installation (the General Specification) issued by the Architectural Services
Department. If there is any discrepancy between this procedure and the General

3.2

Functional Performance Tests

The purpose of functional performance tests is to demonstrate that the
equipment/installation can meet the functional and performance requirements as
specified in the General/Particular Specifications. Functional performance test
should proceed from the testing of individual components to the testing of
different systems in the installation.
The Contractor may have to make temporary modifications as the test proceeds.
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 General/Particular Specifications. The
testing of systems may have to be carried out in stages depending on the
progress of work or as proposed by the Contractor.
Part of the tests may be required to be carried out in suppliers premises in
accordance with the provisions in the General/Particular Specification.
Any performance deficiencies revealed during the functional performance tests
must be evaluated to determine the cause and whether they are part of the
contractual obligations. After completion of the necessary corrective measures,
the Contractor shall repeat the tests.
If any test cannot be completed because of circumstances that are beyond the
control of the Contractor, it shall be properly documented and reported to the
PBSE, who shall then liaise with the relevant parties to resolve the situation.
The Contractor shall resume his testing work immediately upon the attainment
of a suitable testing environment.

3.3

Commissioning and Statutory Inspections

Commissioning is the advancement of an installation from the stage of static
completion to full working conditions and to meet the performance
requirements as specified in the General/Particular Specification. This will
include setting into operation and regulation of the installation. It is expected
that fine-tuning of the commissioned system shall be done by the Contractor to
match system performance to the actual needs of the building occupier more
closely.
Where necessary, after the proper testing and commissioning of the Swimming
Pool Water Treatment Installation, the Contractor shall notify the appropriate
authority, through the PBSE of the completion of the installation and its
readiness for final inspection.

3.4

Documentation and Deliverables

The Contractor shall submit his proposed T & C procedures together with the
Testing and Commissioning Progress Chart shown in Annex I to PBSE for
approval.
All inspection and T & C results shall be recorded by the Contractor in the
