1. Introduction
The procedures stated in this Testing and Commissioning (T&C) Procedure 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), who are appointed as
the Supervising Officer’s Representatives, in the following aspects with respect to
T&C:-
(i) To vet and approve the T&C procedures proposed and submitted by the
contractor for the Electrical Installation (EE Contractor);
The EE Contractor shall carry out the T&C works as detailed in this T&C Procedure.
Supplementary T&C plans may be proposed by the EE Contractor as appropriate and
agreed by PBSE, e.g. for special equipment supplied and/or installed by the EE
Contractor.
The administrative requirements for T&C works are in general as specified in the
General Specification for Electrical Installation 2017 Edition and all current
corrigenda/amendments thereto published before the date of first tender invitation for
the Contract issued by the ArchSD (the General Specification).
All words and expressions shall have the meaning as assigned to them under the
General Specification unless otherwise specified herein.
This T&C Procedure is also intended to lay down the minimum testing and
commissioning requirements to be carried out by the EE Contractor on a new Low
Voltage Cubicle Switchboard Installation upon completion or on an existing Low
Voltage Cubicle Switchboard Installation after a major alteration involving
modification of the main busbar such as upgrading, reposition and extension.
This T&C Procedure also covers the verification of the electrical installation and
lighting installation to demonstrate the compliance with the Building Energy Code
(hereinafter named as BEC) issued under the Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance
(Cap 610). The EE Contractor is required to check, measure and submit the required
