What constitutes Level 1 Commissioning?

Level 1 Commissioning focuses on the verification of systems and equipment before they are installed and put into service. This phase is crucial as it ensures that all components meet the necessary quality standards and specifications before they reach the job site. Conducting a quality inspection before equipment shipment allows for the identification of any potential issues or defects early in the process, which can prevent problems later on during installation and operation.

This level of commissioning emphasizes the manufacturer's responsibility for quality control and the assurance that the equipment is built to specification. By doing this, Level 1 Commissioning reduces the risks associated with project delays and costly rework that can arise when equipment fails to perform as expected after installation. It’s a proactive approach to ensure that what is being delivered is correct, thus laying the foundation for successful commissioning processes that follow.
