Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Commissioning of Lighting Control Systems (Occupancy, Daylight Harvesting, Scheduling, Scenes, Energy Sequences)

Q: What lux meter class is acceptable for witnessing?

Use a class A or equivalent illuminance meter (e.g., DIN 5032-7) with a current ISO/IEC 17025 calibration certificate [Verify per project specifications].

Q: How many zones must be trended?

Trend at least 10% of zones or a minimum of three representative areas covering different control strategies, unless the project specifies otherwise.

Q: What constitutes a hold point in this ITP?

Activities that cannot proceed without Engineer approval, e.g., bus health sign-off and life-safety interface tests, are designated as hold points (H).

Why this ITP is used

To verify the installed lighting control system meets design, code, and energy performance requirements before handover.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

Specialist commissioning engineers, QA/QC, the Engineer/Consultant, and the Client/FM for witnessing and acceptance.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

After installation verification and power/network readiness, through functional testing and prior to handover.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Engineer/Consultant and Client/FM for witnessing and acceptance.

Inspection scope

From pre-commissioning checks and bus health to functional testing of occupancy, daylight, scenes, scheduling, energy sequences, BMS integration, and life-safety interfaces.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

Electrical tests and bus health (H), addressing and parameter loading (W), occupancy/daylight/scene tests (W), life-safety interface (H), handover docs (W).

Typical inspection records

Device verification sheets, bus health reports, lux logs, screenshots, trend exports, point lists, cause & effect forms, handover sign-offs.

Important approval note

This ITP is an AI-assisted editable starting point, not a pre-approved document. Before use on any project, all inspection activities, hold points, and acceptance criteria must be reviewed and approved by the relevant parties (superintendent, principal contractor, or client representative) in accordance with your contract and project quality plan.

Always verify acceptance criteria against your applicable drawings, specifications, and regulatory requirements. Hold points must be confirmed with the relevant authority before work proceeds past that point.
