The purpose of mechanical systems commissioning is to increase the reliability of mechanical power systems after installation by identifying problems and providing a set of baseline values for comparison with subsequent routine tests. A procedure should be developed to include a planned approach (road map) of what should be done in order to verify the proper system installation. This procedure is the commissioning plan. Specific areas addressed in a commissioning plan include the verification of the installation of all equipment/components, interface connections between equipment and individual systems, and interconnection drawings. The development of this test plan specific to each system and/or component is key to the usefulness of any maintenance program.
