Prefunctional checklist items are to be completed as part of startup & initial checkout,
preparatory to functional testing.
This checklist does not take the place of the manufacturer’s recommended
checkout and startup procedures or report.
Contractors assigned responsibility for sections of the checklist shall be
responsible to see that checklist items by their subcontractors are completed and
checked off.
Approvals. This filled-out checklist has been reviewed. Its completion is approved.
