Divisions 01–21 generate the technical evidence that the AGL system was correctly installed, inspected, tested, integrated and performance-verified. Division 22 is the document-control and evidence division: it establishes how that evidence is prepared, recorded, calibrated, indexed, corrected, retested, certified, as-built, consolidated into the final commissioning dossier, and formally handed over.
Philosophy: if a commissioning activity was performed, its result must be recorded, traceable to the equipment/circuit/test, supported by the required evidence, reviewed, approved and preserved in the final commissioning dossier. Commissioning is not complete when the equipment works — it is complete when the evidence that it works, that it meets requirements, that deficiencies are closed and that the installed condition is documented is formally accepted and handed over.
Every result produced across Divisions 01–21 moves through the same underlying documentation sequence before it can be treated as accepted evidence.
A single AGL asset should be traceable, link by link, from its equipment ID through to final acceptance — allowing an engineer or auditor to reconstruct its complete history.
| Link | What It Confirms |
|---|---|
| Equipment ID | The specific asset (e.g. Runway Edge Light RE-025) is uniquely identified |
| Drawing Reference | The asset is located and specified on the approved design drawing |
| Circuit Reference | The asset is correctly assigned to its series/parallel circuit |
| Transformer / Connector ID | The associated isolation transformer and connector are identified and traceable |
| Installation Inspection | Installation was inspected and recorded before energization |
| Electrical Test | Electrical test results for the asset are recorded and traceable |
| Functional Test | Functional operation of the asset is verified and recorded |
| Photometric Test | Photometric performance is measured and traceable to the fixture |
| Fault / Corrective Action | Any deficiency is recorded, dispositioned and corrected |
| Retest | Corrected items are re-verified against the original acceptance criteria |
| Acceptance | The asset's complete evidence chain is reviewed and formally accepted |
Two principles should be established before Division 22 evidence is compiled for any commissioning activity.
Grouped by documentation focus, from first test report through to the final commissioning dossier — click any topic to expand its verification checks and acceptance criteria.
Acceptance Criteria: every applicable commissioning test has a formal report carrying the full identification set — project through approval — before it is treated as closed.
Hold Point: a test record without a retained measured value, where measurement is required, is treated as incomplete.
Hold Point: a test performed with equipment outside its calibration validity period is treated as unverified and requires retest with valid equipment.
Acceptance Criteria: every applicable inspection performed under Divisions 01–21 has a corresponding, indexed, traceable record compiled here.
Acceptance Criteria: every checklist item across every major system carries an explicit, current, and evidence-backed status.
Acceptance Criteria: the punch-list is fully closed, or every open item carries a formally accepted disposition, before the acceptance certificate is issued.
Acceptance Criteria: every recorded snag is corrected, re-inspected and formally closed.
Hold Point: an NCR is not closed until root cause, corrective action, retest and final disposition are all recorded and approved.
Acceptance Criteria: every finding has a documented root cause, corrective action, and — where retest was required — a recorded retest result before closure.
Acceptance Criteria: every retest is fully traceable back to the original failed test and forward to final acceptance.
Acceptance Criteria: FAT documentation remains traceable to the equipment serial number throughout.
Acceptance Criteria: SAT documentation is complete and closed, including all associated punch, snag and NCR items, before SAT acceptance is issued.
Acceptance Criteria: every photometric result is traceable through fixture → location → test point → measurement → acceptance criterion.
Hold Point: an acceptance certificate is not issued while any linked punch-list, snag-list or NCR item remains open, unless formally accepted as a condition.
Acceptance Criteria: the commissioning certificate confirms, item by item, that the defined scope of commissioning activities is complete.
Acceptance Criteria: each equipment item requiring a certificate has one issued at the individual asset level, traceable to its serial number.
Hold Point: as-built documentation must represent the actual installed and commissioned system — not merely the original design.
Acceptance Criteria: the handover package is complete against the defined list before operational handover is executed.
Hold Point: where electronic test files exist, the original data files are preserved — not only exported PDF summaries.
Hold Point: no obsolete revision should ever be mistaken for the current approved document.
Acceptance Criteria: every document in the commissioning record is located, retrievable and current through the master index.
Acceptance Criteria: this is the highest-level documentation package of Division 22 — it closes Divisions 01–21 into a single, indexed, approved, and preserved evidence record ready for handover.

Quick answers about Division 22 — Commissioning Documentation in the AGL Testing & Commissioning Manual.
Division 22 of the AGL Testing & Commissioning Manual covers Commissioning Documentation. Divisions 01–21 generate the technical evidence that the AGL system was correctly installed, inspected, tested, integrated and performance-verified. Division 22 is the document-control and evidence division: it establishes how that evidence is prepared, recorded, calibrated, indexed, corrected, retested, certified, as-built, consolidated into the final commissioning dossier, and formally handed over. It contains 22 topics (TC-DOC-001 to TC-DOC-022) organised into 7 groups (A–G), each topic with its own verification checks.
If a commissioning activity was performed, its result must be recorded, traceable to the equipment/circuit/test, supported by the required evidence, reviewed, approved and preserved in the final commissioning dossier. Commissioning is not complete when the equipment works — it is complete when the evidence that it works, that it meets requirements, that deficiencies are closed and that the installed condition is documented is formally accepted and handed over.
Every result produced across Divisions 01–21 moves through the same underlying documentation sequence before it can be treated as accepted evidence. Steps: Test / Inspection Performed → Result Recorded → Calibration Attached → Reviewed → Pass / Fail Identified → Punch / Snag / NCR Raised → Corrective Action → Retest → Closure → As-Built Updated → Acceptance → Handover. Focus areas: Test reports & calibration certificates; Inspection records & checklists; Punch, snag & NCR closure; FAT / SAT / photometry documentation; Certificates & as-built verification; Document control & final dossier.
Division 22 has 22 topics in 7 groups. A — Test Reporting & Recording: Test Report Preparation, Test-Result Recording, Calibration-Certificate Compilation. B — Inspection & Checklist Control: Inspection-Record Compilation, Commissioning Checklist. C — Deficiency & Closure Records: Punch-List, Snag-List, Non-Conformance Report, Corrective-Action Report, Retest Report. D — Acceptance-Test Documentation: FAT Documentation, SAT Documentation, Photometry Report. E — Certification: Acceptance Certificate, Commissioning Certificate, Equipment Test Certificate. F — As-Built & Handover: As-Built Documentation, Handover Documentation, Test-Data Archive. G — Document Control & Final Dossier: Revision Control, Document Index, Final Commissioning Dossier.

Two principles should be established before Division 22 evidence is compiled for any commissioning activity. Records, Not Statements: Avoid recording only "test satisfactory" — where a measurement is required, the actual measured value is retained; Every test report identifies project, system, equipment, circuit, test reference, procedure, equipment used, calibration status, acceptance criteria, result, engineer, witness and approval; Where electronic test files exist, the original data files are preserved, not only exported PDF summaries; No obsolete document revision should ever be mistaken for the current approved document.
Division boundary: Divisions 01–21 generate the technical evidence — inspections, tests, FAT/SAT, photometry, integration, performance; Division 22 controls, verifies, consolidates and preserves that evidence for final acceptance and future operation/maintenance; Division 22 connects the technical work of the earlier divisions to the final handover and acceptance package; No commissioning activity is considered closed until its evidence is recorded, reviewed, approved and indexed here.
