Commissioningrapport

Commissioningrapport is a document that combines the technical validation of a system during the commissioning phase with a formal record of stakeholder communications and relationships built during that period. The term is a portmanteau of commissioning and rapport and is used in some project management and engineering contexts to emphasize both performance verification and the human aspects of project handover.

Its primary purpose is to support handover to operations and maintenance, provide evidence of compliance with design specifications, and capture lessons learned. Because it is not universally standardized, the exact format, scope, and level of detail vary by industry, contract, and organization.

Contents commonly included are: project metadata; commissioning plan; procedures and test results; system operating parameters; safety, quality, and environmental checks; nonconformities and corrective actions; operator training records; operation and maintenance manuals; risk assessment; open items; acceptance certificates; and signatures from responsible parties.

Process and usage: The document is typically prepared by the commissioning engineer or project team, reviewed by the client or owner, and used during the handover to operations. It may be issued as a final report or maintained as a living document during commissioning and subsequently archived for audits.

Relation and terminology: Commissioningrapport intersects with traditional commissioning reports and turnover packages and is related to broader concepts such as system validation, acceptance testing, and knowledge transfer. It serves as a reference point for future maintenance, audits, and project closeout activities.
