A manufacturing company's checklist is not the same as commissioning.

Mar



A manufacturing company ensuring equipment works before shipping is crucial, but commissioning goes beyond mere functionality checks. It involves a systematic process to verify and document that all systems and components of a facility or equipment are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to the operational requirements of the owner or final client. A third-party Commissioning Authority (CxA) plays a critical role in this by providing independent oversight. They bring expertise in validating performance, identifying potential issues early on, and ensuring everything meets the intended specifications and standards. This impartiality is key to safeguarding the investment and operational efficiency of the equipment or facility.
