11.03 What is fuel system commissioning?

Fuel system commissioning is a method of proving fuel system performance and accuracy, particularly in the event of failure of system components. The interaction of the fuel system with other building systems, such as building management systems is also demonstrated.

The first step in the process is development of a commissioning script document. This is a step by step procedure for testing that can range up to several hundred steps. The document is typically prepared in draft by the fuel system specialist, with review and approval by the design engineer and commissioning agent.

The commissioning procedure is typically performed by the fuel system supplier and installer, and observed by the commissioning agent and / or facility personnel.
