Performance testing procedure

Arrester Testing and Standards Regulatory and approval agencies and insurers impose acceptance testing requirements, sometimes as part of certification standards. The user may also request testing to demonstrate specific performance needs, just as the manufacturer can help develop standards. These interrelationships have resulted in several new and updated performance test procedures. Listing of an arrester by a testing laboratoiy refers only to performance under a defined set of test conditions. The flame arrester user should develop specific application requirements based on the service involved and the safety and risk criteria adopted.

Section 01810 requires the contractor s testing contractor to elaborate the functional performance testing criteria into functional performance testing procedures—step-by-step instructions to field technicians on how to perform each test, including acceptable results which must be achieved. They are as follows (1) identify the component, equipment, or system to be tested (2) identify the conditions under which the tests are to be performed, including various modes of operation as may be appropriate (3) identify the functions to be tested and (4) identify the acceptable results that must be achieved in each case. Such functional performance testing procedures must be prepared for every component, piece of equipment, and system in the project.

Developing the System Functional Performance Testing Procedures. The development of system functional performance testing procedures is crucial to proper performance of the commissioning process. In order to develop these procedures, the TC must have reviewed the design criteria, the construction documents, and the approved environmental control and building automation systems. Based on this information, written testing procedures and test... 

Further, the advertisement should state that finalists to be interviewed will be required to present comprehensive evidence of a prior similar commissioning project commissioning schedules, component and equipment verification testing procedures, system functional performance testing procedures, and final documentation of all tests. This will discourage unqualified firms from applying since they will not be able to meet the interview requirements.

The design, sequence and timing of activities and equipment shall be exactly the same as those proposedfor the main works. Quality control and performance testing procedures for the trial are to be in general accordance with those proposed for the main works. If the Contractor wishes to carry out more than one design layout then the size of the trial area shall be extended, subject to the Engineer s agreement. If more than one trial area is used there shall be a minimum of 10 m between each trial area. 

The Association is also involved in planning and preparing national codes, standards and performance testing procedures, working closely with the Canadian Standards Association.
