1.1
Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to provide general guidelines for the Commissioning setup as
applicable to KN projects.
2.0
2.1
Scope
This procedure applies to all commissioning activities of the projects. Commissioning set up
includes the complete chain of activities from mechanical completion through precommissioning, commissioning, testing and handing over to the Client.
3.0
3.1
Commissioning Process
All forms of building/plants/systems/equipment commissioning share the same goals: to
produce a building/plant/system/equipment that meets the unique needs of its Client and
occupants, operates as efficiently as possible, provides a safe, comfortable work environment,
and is operated and maintained by a well-trained staff or service contractor.
3.2
The commissioning process is a team effort, usually led by a commissioning lead, who
verifies that the building/plant/system/equipment meets the Clients expectations at each stage
of the design and construction process (Attachment 1). Also, as the Project requirements may
vary from project to project, the commissioning lead may adapt a specific process to meet the
project goals. This guide outlines a comprehensive process for achieving these goals.
4.0
4.1
4.1.1
Commissioning Phases
Pre commissioning
The Pre-Commissioning activities normally start when the plant or a system achieves
Mechanical Completion. Frequently, however, the Pre-Commissioning activities overlap
Mechanical Completion activities and for this reason the plant should be divided into
manageable system packages, each system package may be Pre-Commissioned as a whole or
partially as convenient. The isolations at the boundaries of the system package shall be
maintained until the completion of pre-commissioning activities.
4.1.2
Pre-Commissioning activities include: checking for design conformity, checking the status of
electrical, mechanical and instrument installations, running-in of equipment, flushing and
cleaning activities, drying, etc.
4.1.3
Pre-commissioning activities may be performed either by KN commissioning team or by

vendors or subcontracted to a third party; but in all the cases the pre-commissioning activities
will be performed under the complete supervision of KN commissioning team to avoid any
non compliance with the contractual pre-commissioning requirements.
4.2
4.2.1
Commissioning & Testing

Commissioning activities normally consist of activities associated with running or operating
the systems and/or equipment and include operating adjustments necessary for satisfactory
operation of the systems and /or equipment.
4.2.2
Also included are Functional checks which are methods used to prove that an item of
mechanical equipment or control system functions correctly.
5.0
5.1
Responsibilities
The respective Commissioning Manager/ Commissioning Lead are responsible for all
commissioning activities on the project.
5.2
KN Lead Commissioning Engineers of each discipline, i.e. Mechanical, Electrical and

Instrumentation & Control (I & C) and Testing shall be responsible for their respective scope
of work and shall report to the Commissioning Manager / Commissioning Lead.
AWI 412 Rev. 0 28 Apr. 2015

5.3
KN Lock-Out / Tag-Out (LOTO) Engineer is responsible for all Lock-out / Tag-out activities
on site to ensure a safe work environment for all persons working on site during
Commissioning and reports to the Commissioning Manager / Commissioning Lead.

activities shall be monitored by KN Lead Commissioning Engineers reporting to the site

be handed over to the Commissioning team by the Construction & pre-commissioning team.
The QC dossiers for every system shall be compiled with contents as agreed with the Client.
6.2
A system is assumed to be complete when the following conditions are met:
6.3

certificates are available and valid.

activities are completed and certified as per the approved Inspection and Test Plan (ITP).
The system is mechanically complete, i.e. all pipes, permanent supports, equipments and
devices have been installed aligned inspected and certified.
Piping systems are pressure tested, flushed and reinstated as per the P&ID.

All cables and wires are terminated and tested, inspected and certified as per the approved
Inspection and Test Plan (ITP).

Construction shall walk down the system and verify the installation according to relevant
drawings, Piping and Instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) and specifications.
6.4
A punch list/snag list shall be prepared, categorizing the items into the three different
criticality levels A, B and C.
The system is ready to be accepted by Commissioning when the following conditions are met:
The punch list only contains items that do not prevent the start of commissioning (B&C).
Construction test certificates are available and accepted.
7.0
7.1
Temporary Turnover From Construction

In exceptional circumstances a partial system may be ready to be accepted by commissioning
in order to expedite the commissioning process. Such a partial handover shall be treated as a
temporary turnover until the complete system is ready to be turned over.
7.2
For temporary turnover it is imperative that a thorough safety assessment be done and that a
robust LOTO management is applied.
