Why this decision matters
Signing off only that devices are powered leaves the practical outcome and unresolved defects unverified.
Work through the actual task
- Test the scoped entry-to-unit/remote answering routes.
- Check credential changes and record units that could not be tested.
- Keep a signed test record with any outstanding items and the date for follow-up.
The outcome to verify
- Test the agreed entrance-to-unit and remote answering routes, entry releases and credential administration. Record units or functions not accessed/tested and who arranges completion. Keep diagrams, models and platform ownership under controlled management for the next service provider or manager.
Worked example
Different entrances must identify and release the correct common door. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: A building commissioning matrix with responsibility for every outstanding unit.
Limits and follow-up
Do not assume a resident can authorise changes to common property. Confirm the approval process and the person authorised to accept the work.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
