Broadcast Reception Installation

1. 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
complied to facilitate the work of Project Building Services Engineer (PBSE) and
Project Building Services Inspector (PBSI) in the following aspects of work with
respect to testing and commissioning (T & C): -

1.1 To vet and approve the T & C procedures proposed and submitted by the
Contractor.

1.2 To witness those T & C procedures as specified; and

1.3 To accept the T & C certificate 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 Broadcast Reception Installation (the General
Specification) issued by the Architectural Services Department. If there is any
discrepancy between this procedure and the General Specification, the General
Specification shall take precedence.

2. Objectives of the Testing and Commissioning Works

The objectives of the T & C are: -

2.1 To verify proper functioning of the equipment/system after installation; and.

2.2 To verify that the performance of the installed equipment/systems meet

with the specified design intent through a series of tests and adjustment; and

2.3 To capture and record performance data of the whole installation as the
baseline for future operation and maintenance.

For the avoidance of doubt, depending on the specific demands of individual

installation, the PBSE may require additional or substitute T & C works in
regard to any elements in the installation other than those indicated in this
procedure.

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 Statutory Inspection/Commissioning

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

Broadcast Reception 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 B to PBSE
for approval.

All inspection and T & C results shall be recorded by the Contractor in the
appropriate test record forms, the reference of which is shown against each
individual test. A complete set of these forms can be found in Part 3 and 4
of Annex A.

Data recorded in other formats may also acceptable subject to agreement

between the PBSE and the Contractor. Upon completion of all the required
T & C works, the Contractor’s project engineer shall complete and sign a
testing and commissioning certificate as shown in Part 1 and 2 of Annex A
to the effect that the agreed T & C works have been duly carried out.

A functional performance test report covering all measured data, data

sheets, and a comprehensive summary describing the operation of the
system at the time of the functional performance tests shall be prepared and
submitted to the PBSE. Deviations in performance from the
General/Particular Specifications or the design intent should be recorded,
with a description and analysis included.

Where required in the General Specification, the Contractor shall conduct a

final evaluation of the performance of the Broadcast Reception Installation,
the results of which shall be included in the commissioning report.
