Summary:

Since the late 1960s when CIBSE Commissioning Code A was first published, developments in design and changes in commissioning procedures have highlighted some shortcomings and inadequacies calling for a complete revision of the original format. The new Code as prescribed in this document encompasses all the desirable aspects of the previous code with expansion, additions and revisions, where necessary.The commissioning of modern building services systems, particularly in large and sophisticated projects, has become increasingly complex with significant demands placed on construction personnel, not least the commissioning specialist. Quite apart from the specific commissioning tasks to be carried out, commissioning requires careful liaison between all the parties concerned and the effective programming of specific activities. Contained within the revised Code is a flow chart highlighting the key stages involved in the commissioning of air distribution systems. It is hoped that this will help all construction professionals to appreciate the activities required to commission an air distribution system.The Task Group has endeavoured to strike the right balance between commonly used commissioning procedures and contractual practices, without introducing formal contractual responses into the document.A considerable amount of time, effort and debate from a wide range of interested professionals has gone into the production of this document. As a result, it is hoped that all concerned with the design, installation, commissioning and witnessing of air distribution systems will take up and adopt the recommendations of this Code.
