B.S.B. Testing and Commissioning Procedure No. 6
Low Voltage Cubicle Switchboard Installation
1. Introduction
1.1 This procedure is intended to lay down the minimum testing and
commissioning requirements to be carried out by the Contractor on a new
Low Voltage Cubicle Switchboard Installation upon completion or on an
existing Low Voltage Cubicle Switchboard Installation after a major
alteration. Additional testing and commissioning (T & C) requirements
may be proposed by the Contractor as appropriate and agreed by the Project
Building Services Engineer (PBSE), e.g. for special equipment supplied
and/or installed by the Contractor.
1.2 This procedure is also written to facilitate the PBSE and Project Building
Services Inspector (PBSI) in carrying out the following aspects of work
with respect to T & C.
(i) To vet and approve the T & C procedures proposed and submitted by
the Contractor.
2. General Requirements
2.1 The Contractor shall submit the T&C procedures together with the Testing
and Commissioning progress chart in Appendix B to the PBSE for
approval. The submission shall be made at least one month before the
commencement of T&C.
2.2 Where tests are required to be witnessed by the PBSE/PBSI, the Contractor
shall give due advanced notice (usually not less than three working days)
and provide details of date, time and type of tests to be performed.
2.3 Upon completion of such T & C procedure, the Contractor shall complete
and sign a testing and commissioning certificate as Appendix A, to the
effect that the L.V. Cubicle Switchboard Installation has been tested and
commissioned in accordance with this and/or otherwise agreed procedures.
2.4 Before carrying out any test, the Contractor shall ensure installations
comply with the statutory requirements and regulations.
2.5 The Contractor shall provide any test certificate(s) for the equipment as
required in the Specification.
2.6 The Contractor shall carry out visual inspection in accordance with the
checklists as shown in Part 3 of Appendix A and abnormalities shall be
rectified before despatch of the cubicle switchboard to site.
BSBTC-06 1
2.7 The Contractor shall deliver the cubicle switchboard to site either in its
entirety or in transportation sections. In the latter case, the section shall be
reassembled on site.
2.8 The Contractor shall carry out the visual inspection again on those items
which may be affected during the transportation e.g. the tightness of bolt
and nuts, the alignments of the various sections of the switchboard etc.
3.2 The Contractor shall carry out the tests and inspections as shown in Part 3
and record the test results on Part 4 of Appendix A and as agreed between
the PBSE and the Contractor.
3.3 The Contractor shall provide all the necessary staff, labour, materials and
equipment for a thorough test and examination of the installation.
4. Statutory Inspection/Commissioning
4.1 After the proper testing and commissioning of the low voltage cubicle
switchboard installation, the Contractor shall notify the appropriate
Authority, through the PBSE, on the completion of the installation and its
readiness for inspection and testing.
