When introducing new equipment into an operational environment, the commissioning process ensures that it operates according to the specified requirements. This phase is crucial for identifying potential issues, verifying system integration, and confirming overall functionality.

Commissioning typically includes several key stages:

  1. Pre-commissioning: Inspection and preparation before the equipment is powered on.
  2. Functional Testing: Verifying that all components work correctly under actual operating conditions.
  3. Performance Evaluation: Ensuring the equipment meets expected performance metrics.
  4. Final Handover: Transitioning the equipment to the operational team with complete documentation and training.

"The commissioning process is vital for ensuring that the equipment not only functions properly but also meets long-term operational requirements."
