Part L - commissioning plan

[Ed_]

Part L seems to want me to submit a commissioning plan before construction:

 

8.2 A commissioning plan should be produced, identifying both of the following.

a. Systems that need to be tested.

b. How these systems will be tested.

For new dwellings, the commissioning plan should be given to the building control body with

the design stage dwelling primary energy rate, dwelling emission rate and dwelling fabric energy

efficiency rate calculations.

 

Seems quite sensible but do people actually do this in practice? I want to get my submission in asap and thought I'd work out these details as I go along but maybe that is not possible anymore.

Well no-one asked for my "commissioning plan". I'd submit the application and see if BC ask for it. If so then list what systems you are installing - heat pump, MVHR etc and set against them "to be tested by installer upon installation to ensure the system meets requirement minimum standards and results to be provided to BC upon completion" and see if that works.

Thanks, on digging further I think it should be sufficient to list the systems and that they will be commissioned by the installer under competent persons scheme or similar.
