Learning Objectives

1. Given the commissioning requirement to assist in the pre-certification of a bio-safety laboratory, hospital operating room, or isolation room, the attendee will be able to develop and execute a pre-certification script, helping to assure a smooth certification processhelping to assure a smooth certification process.

2. Given the commissioning requirement to assist in the pre-certification of a bio-safety laboratory, hospital operating room, or isolation room, the attendee will be able to establish a detailed Roles and Responsibilities Matrix that will document the activities and level of involvement of all personnel involved in the certification of the laboratory and its systems.

Importance of Scripting

S t C l it• System Complexity • Contractor Buy-in• Documentation• Save Time and Money

Importance of Scripting

• System complexity○A systematic approach to verify proper

system integrationsystem integration○Multiple players with multiple responsibilities○Advance notice to participants○Establish criteria and identify conflicts early

• Contractor Buy-in○A sense of ownership from the beginning○Leverage their knowledge base

Importance of Scripting

• Documentation○Contractor’s pre-functional and start-up○Contractor s pre-functional and start-up

documents○Owner’s O&M staff○Future RCx○Facility Baseline

• Save Time and Money○Solve problems prior to actual testing

Script Development

• Documentation○ Especially important to document the Baseline p y p○ NO SAMPELING○ Don’t assume that because a room controls in one Failure Mode, it

will control in similar modes○ Changes to the Sequence of Operation (SoO) in one space may○ Changes to the Sequence of Operation (SoO) in one space may

disrupt the SoO control in adjacent spaces○ The Certifying Authority will measure and record every space

pressure relationship in every failure mode and include this in their reportreport

○ Remember to document System control info:- Pressures and Differentials- Frequencies, Hertz, Amps- Program setpoints and actual control points- Program setpoints and actual control points - Reaction times- Alarm points
