2012 EDITION
This Testing and Commissioning (T&C) Procedure aims to lay down the minimum
testing and commissioning requirements to be carried out on Burglar Alarm and Security
Installation in Government Buildings of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
(HKSAR). Such requirements are applicable to both new installations upon completion and
existing ones after major alteration.
The present edition was developed based on its 2007 edition and was developed by
the Extra Low Voltage Specialist Support Group that was established under the Building
Services Branch Technical Information and Research & Development Committee of the
Architectural Services Department (ArchSD).
With the benefit of information technology, electronic version of this new edition is

1. Introduction
The procedures stated in this 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 complied to facilitate the work of Project Building Services Engineer (PBSE)
