Commissioning & Handover Forms
The 25 forms that carry an installed, inspected, and tested AGL system through readiness verification, controlled energization, functional and system-specific commissioning, integrated testing, punch/snag closure, performance verification, and final acceptance — into a complete, signed-off handover package. Grouped into Commissioning Forms, System-Specific Commissioning, Punch & Snag Management, Performance & Acceptance, and Handover Documentation, this division is the operational transition and acceptance layer that bridges Installation/Testing (Divisions 04–06) and safe operational use by the client or airport operator.
Where this fits — Divisions 04–06 install, inspect, and test the physical AGL system; this division proves it was safely energized, that it performs its intended function individually and as an integrated system, and that every outstanding item was closed before the client or operator formally accepted and took delivery of it. Every record here should trace back to an installation, inspection, or test reference and forward into the Final Acceptance Certificate, Taking-Over Certificate, and Handover Certificate that release the project into operational service and Project Closeout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about the 25 Division 07 Commissioning & Handover forms, how they are grouped, and how they connect to the rest of the library.
Q1What is Division 07 — Commissioning & Handover Forms in the AGL Engineering Forms & Templates library?
Division 07 is a set of 25 commissioning & handover forms (COM-01 to COM-25) in the AGL Engineering Forms & Templates library. It carries an installed, inspected and tested AGL system through readiness verification, controlled energization, functional and system-specific commissioning, integrated testing, punch and snag closure, performance verification and final acceptance into a signed-off handover package. The forms are grouped into 5 categories: Commissioning Forms, System-Specific Commissioning, Punch & Snag Management, Performance & Acceptance and Handover Documentation.
Q2Which forms are included in Commissioning Forms and System-Specific Commissioning?
Commissioning Forms (8 forms): COM-01 Pre-Commissioning Checklist, COM-02 Commissioning Checklist, COM-03 Equipment Readiness Certificate, COM-04 Circuit Readiness Certificate, COM-05 Energization Record, COM-06 CCR Energization Record, COM-07 Series Circuit Energization Record, COM-08 Functional Commissioning Record; System-Specific Commissioning (5 forms): COM-09 PAPI Commissioning Record, COM-10 Sign Commissioning Record, COM-11 ALCMS Commissioning Record, COM-12 Approach Lighting Commissioning Record, COM-13 Integrated System Test.
Q3Which forms are included in Punch & Snag Management, Performance & Acceptance and Handover Documentation?

Q4What is the difference between the Equipment Readiness Certificate, the Circuit Readiness Certificate and the energization records?
The Equipment Readiness Certificate (COM-03) certifies that individual equipment is ready for commissioning. The Circuit Readiness Certificate (COM-04) verifies that the complete AGL electrical circuit is ready for energization. The Energization Record (COM-05) provides controlled evidence of initial energization, and COM-06 and COM-07 control the energization of the CCR and the first energization of the series circuit.
Q5What is the difference between a Punch List and a Snag List?
The Punch List (COM-14) records outstanding work that prevents full completion. The Snag List (COM-15) records defects, deficiencies or incomplete work identified during commissioning. Closure is verified through the Punch List Closure (COM-16), and the Defect Closure Certificate (COM-17) formally certifies closure of identified defects.
Q6What is the difference between the Final Acceptance Certificate, the Taking-Over Certificate and the Handover Certificate?
The Final Acceptance Certificate (COM-19) confirms that the system has satisfied the defined acceptance requirements. The Taking-Over Certificate (COM-20) formally records the transfer of responsibility from the contractor or project organization to the client or designated operator. The Handover Certificate (COM-21) confirms formal delivery of the completed AGL system and required records, and Final Project Closeout (COM-25) provides the final administrative and technical closure.
Q7Can the forms in Division 07 be downloaded and filled in?
Yes. Each form has a Download as Word button that produces an uncontrolled sample Word template with letterhead, a document-control block, ruled entry fields and a three-tier approval table, ready to print or fill on-screen. Checklist-format forms such as Pre-Commissioning Checklist (COM-01) download with a checkbox and a verified-by line for each item. The forms can also be searched by keyword or form ID.
Q8How does Division 07 connect to installation, inspection and testing?
The earlier divisions install, inspect and test the physical AGL system. This division proves it was safely energized, that it performs its intended function individually and as an integrated system, and that every outstanding item was closed before the client or operator formally accepted delivery. Every record should trace back to an installation, inspection or test reference.
COMMISSION THE SYSTEM. OWN THE HANDOVER.
A commissioning form captures the final sign-off — but delivering a system that performs on day one means understanding integration, interface testing and CAT I/II/III operational requirements behind every checkpoint.

It is not professional engineering, legal or regulatory advice, and using it does not create any professional or client relationship.
- Sample templates, not controlled documents. Forms, checklists, registers, reports, certificate layouts and Word downloads are generic samples. They are uncontrolled copies and are not approved work instructions, procedures, permits, certificates, test or calibration records, or regulatory records. Letterheads, form numbers, revision labels, dates, document-control blocks and approval tables are layout only. Review and adapt a template under your own document-control system before any use; signatures on it carry no authority unless made under your own approved system. Precision AGL Academy does not issue, approve, certify or take responsibility for any record completed using a template, and does not receive or store such records.
- Safety. Work on series circuits, constant current regulators (CCRs), isolating transformers, cables, connectors and control equipment can be fatal. Always apply the aerodrome’s permit-to-work and isolation/LOTO procedures, prove dead, use correctly rated instruments and PPE, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Nothing here authorises work on live equipment or the bypassing of any safety device or interlock.
