What do System Verification Checklists (SVC) ensure?

System Verification Checklists (SVC) are designed specifically to ensure that a system performs according to its intended design specifications. During the commissioning process, these checklists serve as a tool to document and verify that all systems operate effectively and efficiently based on the predetermined requirements.

By focusing on the verification of system performance during the design phase, the SVC allows for a structured approach to identify any issues or deficiencies early on. This proactive measure helps to confirm that the systems will not only meet operational needs but also function correctly when fully deployed. This is critical for achieving optimal performance and energy efficiency in the built environment.

The choice to focus on system performance aligns with best practices in commissioning, which emphasize confirming that all aspects of the system operate as intended before final acceptance. In this way, the SVC plays a crucial role in the overall commissioning process, ensuring that all systems meet the desired performance criteria prior to handover or operation.
