Käyttöönottokirja

Käyttöönottokirja is a Finnish term that translates to "commissioning book" or "startup book" in English. It is a formal document used in project management, particularly in construction and industrial sectors, to record the process of bringing a new system, facility, or piece of equipment into operational use. The commissioning book serves as a comprehensive record of all activities, checks, tests, and approvals performed to ensure that the entity is ready for its intended purpose and meets all specified requirements.

The content of a käyttöönottokirja typically includes details about the project scope, design specifications, installation procedures, and testing methodologies. It documents the results of various tests, such as functional tests, performance tests, and safety checks. Any deviations from the plan, issues encountered, and their resolutions are also recorded. Crucially, the commissioning book includes sign-offs and approvals from relevant stakeholders, including project managers, engineers, and the client or end-user, confirming that all commissioning activities have been successfully completed and the entity is deemed fit for service.

The purpose of the käyttöönottokirja is to provide a clear and auditable trail of the commissioning process. It ensures accountability, facilitates knowledge transfer, and serves as a reference document for future maintenance, operation, and potential modifications. In essence, it is the final verification that a project has been delivered according to specifications and is ready to be used.
