Engineer (PBSE) / Project Electrical and Mechanical Engineer (PEME) and Project
Building Services Inspector (PBSI) / Project Electrical and Mechanical Inspector
(PEMI), who are appointed as the Supervising Officer’s Representatives, in the
following aspects with respect to testing and commissioning :

(a) to vet and approve the T&C procedures proposed and submitted by the
contractor for the Emergency Generator Installation (GE Contractor);
(b) to witness those T&C procedures as specified; and
(c) to accept the T&C certificates and other supporting data.

The GE Contractor shall carry out the T&C works as detailed in this T&C Procedure.
Supplementary T&C plans may be proposed by the GE Contractor as appropriate and
agreed by PBSE/PEME, e.g. for special equipment supplied and/or installed by the GE
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.

2. Objectives of the Testing and Commissioning Works

The objectives of the T&C works are:

(a) to verify proper functioning of the equipment/system after installation;

(b) to verify that the performance of the installed equipment/systems meet with the
specified design intent and statutory requirements, if any, through a series of
tests and adjustments; and
(c) to capture and record performance data of the whole Installation as the baseline
for future operation and maintenance.

For the avoidance of doubt, depending on the specific demands of individual

installation, the PBSE/PEME may require additional or substitute T&C works in regard
to any elements in the Installation other than those indicated in this T&C Procedure.
