How should the checklist be retained?
Attach it to the record index or review workflow. An unchecked field should become a named action, not a silent assumption.
| Area | Evidence | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Procedure and criterion | Commissioning lead |
| Observation | Actual result | Test team |
| Review | Witness or reviewer | Project team |
| Closeout | Approved disposition | Responsible engineer |
What is outside the tool?
It does not set acceptance limits, conduct tests or approve a commissioning result. Those decisions require the project documents and qualified reviewers.
Common questions
What else should the bid team know?
Does a documentation pack approve a test?
No. The commissioning professional and responsible engineers approve procedures, criteria and acceptance decisions.
Are commissioning levels universal?
No. Project and client documents define the meaning and gate for levels. Use the approved commissioning plan.
Can a missing acceptance criterion be invented?
No. Record it as an open input and obtain the approved criterion from the responsible technical reviewer.
