Käyttöönottotarkastus

Käyttöönottotarkastus is a Finnish term that translates to commissioning inspection or handover inspection. It refers to a formal process that takes place when a new construction project, a renovation, or a significant piece of equipment is completed and ready for use. The primary purpose of a käyttöönottotarkastus is to ensure that the completed work or system meets the agreed-upon specifications, quality standards, and regulatory requirements before it is officially handed over to the client or owner.

This inspection typically involves a thorough examination of the work carried out. It can include checking the functionality of installed systems such as electrical, plumbing, ventilation, and fire safety. For buildings, this might also involve verifying that the construction adheres to architectural plans, building codes, and any specific contractual obligations. The inspection is usually conducted by a designated party, often an independent inspector, a representative of the client, or a project manager.

The outcome of a käyttöönottotarkastus is crucial. If the inspection reveals any defects, deficiencies, or non-compliance, these are documented. The contractor or responsible party is then usually required to rectify these issues before the final handover can occur. Once all identified problems are resolved and re-inspected, a formal acceptance document is signed, marking the official completion and transfer of responsibility. This process provides a formal record and assurance for both parties involved in the project.
