Use this checklist before commissioning handover, commercial operation, or final closeout review. It ties together evidence quality, residual risk, punch-list status, and the handover document package.
| Review Area | Pass / Fail Check | Evidence Link | Owner | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evidence completeness | Every required commissioning item is mapped in the commissioning evidence matrix. | Evidence matrix / closeout folder | Commissioning manager | Not started | Confirm missing evidence has an owner and due date. |
| Evidence wording | Acceptance statements follow the acceptance evidence wording guide. | Test records / screenshots / certificates | QA/QC lead | Not started | Avoid vague wording such as “checked” or “received.” |
| Open punch-list items | All punch-list and nonconformance items are closed or explicitly deferred in the punch-list tracker. | Punch-list export | Project controls | Not started | Separate open work from accepted residual risk. |
| Residual risk | Deferred items are approved in the residual-risk acceptance template. | Residual-risk register | Owner representative | Not started | Confirm interim controls and target close dates. |
| Handover package | Required drawings, procedures, certificates, and test records are listed in the handover document index. | Document index | Document control | Not started | Confirm revision and approval status. |
| Operations readiness | Operators have received procedures, alarm/trip summary, and known-residual-risk notes. | Training record / handover notes | Operations lead | Not started | Confirm operational restrictions are visible. |
| Final approval | Closeout package has required owner, EPC, commissioning, and operations sign-offs. | Approval record | Project manager | Not started | Record any conditional acceptance language. |
