COMMISSIONING AND DECOMMISSIONING Sample Clauses
The 'Commissioning and Decommissioning' clause defines the procedures and responsibilities for bringing equipment, systems, or facilities into operational service (commissioning) and for safely taking them out of service (decommissioning). Typically, this clause outlines the standards to be met, the documentation required, and the parties responsible for each phase, such as testing protocols before equipment is used and steps for safe removal or shutdown at the end of its lifecycle. Its core function is to ensure that transitions into and out of service are managed safely and efficiently, minimizing risks and clarifying accountability.

COMMISSIONING AND DECOMMISSIONING. The organization shall ensure that there is a formal process for initial commissioning of new facilities and the final decommissioning of existing ones. Commissioning will ensure that the facility is constructed and performs as intended. The commissioning process should start at the design phase at the first stage of science programme definition to assure that the expectations for the building are achievable. The commissioning plan should develop in detail in parallel with the physical concept to ensure that the expectations for the building are measurable. The commissioning plan should clearly identify, with examples, all steps from beginning to end including conditions of acceptance of each step, as a prerequisite of proceeding to the next. The commissioning plan should identify all steps required before operation is commenced initially or resumed after temporary shutdown. The commissioning process should provide the benchmark for acceptable facility operation and the description of the programme to be put place to maintain that level of performance. The decommissioning process should identify the decontamination procedures and security-related measures that have to be in place for temporary or final shut down of the facility. The decommissioning programme should not only describe the procedures to be undertaken but also the standards of acceptance when those procedures are performed. This may be documented through clearance certificates and permits to work which identify when and what conditions the decommissioned facility can be re-entered.
