8.1 Commissioning
It must be generally ensured that, while work is performed on the system, particu-
larly during commissioning, any risk for persons or objects is prevented. Any work
on the system must be coordinated with the owner/operator beforehand.
Before the system is commissioned, it must be visually inspected by an expert. The
visual inspection includes a review of the system documentation with respect to
completeness, availability and control, as well as of the as-built documents with
respect to up-to-dateness. In addition, a target/actual performance comparison
must be made, in which the used system components are compared with the
system documentation in respect of type and quantity. Provided this inspection
turns out to be successful, i.e., there are no deficiencies, the system and peripheral
equipment must be checked for correct installation.
After visual inspection, the following steps must be taken consecutively: switch on
the mains fuse, insert the battery fuse, commission the system. Provided commis-
sioning has been completed successfully, the entire system must be subjected to a
functional test.
The functional test is intended to check whether all devices cooperate as
intended. It comprises:
• Check of the alarm configuration
• Test of the smoke switches
• Check of the light barriers
• Check of all control inputs and outputs
• Check of the controls required in the event of a fire
The smoke switches must be tested by simulating the relevant physical
characteristic fire value. If the characteristic fire value is smoke, test aerosol 918/5
can be used.
External systems may only be activated together with the specialist companies
involved and with the client's approval.
After completed commissioning, the results thereof should be seamlessly
documented in a positive list and made available for acceptance of the system.
