Commissioning of electrical, instrumentation and control systems in the process industry - Specific phases and milestones
IEC 62337:2006 defines specific phases and milestones in the commissioning of electrical, instrumentation and control systems in the process industry. By way of example, it describes activities following the "completion-of-erection" milestone of the project and prior to the "acceptance-of-the-plant" phase by the owner. Such activities need to be adapted for each type of process/plant concerned. This bilingual version (2013-05) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2006-11. It cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 62337 published in 2002. This first edition constitutes a technical revision.
Mise en service des systèmes électriques, de mesure et de commande dans l'industrie de transformation - Phases et jalons spécifiques
La CEI 62337:2006 définit des phases et des jalons spécifiques pour la mise en service des systèmes électriques, de mesure et de commande, utilisés dans l'industrie de transformation. Elle décrit, à titre d'exemple, les activités qui suivent le jalon "achèvement du montage" du projet mais préalables à la phase "de réception de l'ensemble industriel" par le maître d'ouvrage. Il est nécessaire d'adapter ces activités à chaque type de processus/ensemble industriel concerné. La présente norme annule et remplace le CEI/PAS 62337 publié en 2002. Cette première édition constitue une révision technique. La présente version bilingue (2013-05) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2006-11.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62337 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 65:
Industrial-process measurement and control.
This standard cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 62337 published in 2002. This first edition
constitutes a technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
There is an increasing trend in the process industry to award the construction of whole plants
to contractors on a lump-sum turnkey or similar commercial basis. Experience has shown that
both the process industry (hereinafter called “the owner”) and the contractor have long and
expensive discussions to lay down unambiguously the scope of activities to be taken by the
contractor and the owner and their responsibilities to achieve the handover of the plant.
This standard should lead to an improvement and acceleration of the negotiation phase and to
a mutual understanding about the scope of activities of each party.
For application in the pharmaceutical or other highly specialized industries, additional
guidelines (for example, Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP)), definitions and
stipulations should apply in accordance with existing standards, for example, for GMP
Compliance 21 CFR (FDA) and the Standard Operating Procedure of the European Medicines
Agency (SOP/INSP/2003).

COMMISSIONING OF ELECTRICAL, INSTRUMENTATION
AND CONTROL SYSTEMS IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRY –
SPECIFIC PHASES AND MILESTONES
1 Scope
This International Standard defines specific phases and milestones (see Figure 1) in the
commissioning of electrical, instrumentation and control systems in the process industry. By
way of example, it describes activities following the “completion-of-erection” milestone of the
project and prior to the “acceptance-of-the-plant” phase by the owner. Such activities need to
be adapted for each type of process/plant concerned.
NOTE This standard assumes that the “acceptance-of-the-plant” milestone will occur after the performance test. If
there is a reduced scope, this document should be adapted accordingly.

2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
precommissioning
phase during which the activities of non-operating adjustments, cold alignment checks,
cleaning, and testing of machinery take place
NOTE Refer to Annex B for the detailed activities.
2.2
mechanical completion
milestone which is achieved when the plant, or any part thereof, has been erected and tested
in accordance with drawings, specifications, instructions, and applicable codes and
regulations to the extent necessary to permit cold commissioning
NOTE This includes completion of all necessary electrical and instrumentation work. This is a milestone marking
the end of the precommissioning activities.
2.3
cold commissioning
phase during which the activities associated with the testing and operation of equipment or
facilities using test media such as water or inert substances, prior to introducing any chemical
in the system, take place
