Main point
Handover should transfer the information needed to identify, operate and maintain the supplied installation. A shipment list and a general product brochure do not provide the same information as current equipment documents.
Information to record
Prepare an index covering final drawings, component lists, applicable instructions, control description, agreed settings and completed inspection or commissioning records. Mark document revisions and the equipment tags they cover. Keep incomplete items on a clearly assigned closeout list.
Review and acceptance
Review the package with the operating team before acceptance. Confirm where current documents will be stored and how future changes will be incorporated. Preserve approved revisions so maintenance staff do not have to reconstruct the installation from photographs or old purchasing emails.
FAQ: Should temporary commissioning settings remain undocumented?
Identify temporary settings and their required final disposition.
FAQ: Is document delivery complete when files are sent?
Check completeness, applicability and agreed acceptance, not just transmission.
