Introduction
This Technical Specification defines the mandatory and optional requirements for inspecting,
testing and commissioning Home and Building Electronic System (HBES). It has been developed in
order to help ensure that the client or system owner has confidence that the HBES has been
designed and installed
• in a competent manner, meeting with the manufacturers’ installation instructions, relative
standards and statutory requirements;
• with the intention of providing both reliability and resilience.
Although these requirements are normative, they are intended to be applied in a competent
manner and can be readily adapted to the complexity of the HBES installation.
These requirements are provided for inspecting and testing of both professionally installed system
and systems that have not been installed by professional operatives.
The aim of this document is also to ensure that the installation of the HBES will not affect the
integrity of HBES products and that the client’s perception of such systems is not diminished. It
can also be used as a basis for a contractual agreement for completion of an installation and
placing it into service.
1 Scope
This document provides the specific requirements for inspectors and commissioning engineers (as
defined in the document), on checking and approving HBES installations in order to ensure its
quality and safe operation.
The requirements apply to the HBES itself and its relations and interfaces with other systems and
functions of buildings both inside and outside.
Although this document contains recommendations for testing HBES and their interfaces, it is not
intended to cover the mechanical aspects of the installation such as pressure testing pneumatic or
hydraulic lines and systems, or checking for compliance with the pressure vessel directive, etc.
These aspects are covered in other standards. Likewise, when the HBES interfaces with
machinery or boilers, etc., such equipment should be tested in accordance with the relevant
standard and manufacturer’s instructions.
These requirements are intended to assist in the inspection, testing and commissioning of HBES
systems.
They are also intended as an aide to integration with the regulations for any other system that the
HBES may need to interface with.
These requirements are intended for applications in any building, or part of a building, for which the
designer considers the HBES suitable. They may also apply to any addition or modification to a
HBES within a building, which will affect the overall integrity of the HBES and give guidance that
ongoing inspection and maintenance will be necessary to ensure the continued safe and efficient
operation of an installed HBES.

4 General requirements
4.1 Competency of inspectors and commissioning engineers
Only competent companies or individuals shall be used for this work. This may or may not be the
installer of the HBES.
A competent individual or company is one who has experience of the HBES being
inspected/tested/commissioned, or has sufficient knowledge and expertise to enable themselves to
make a professional judgement and familiarise themselves with any system before carrying out any
work upon it. Relevant sections of EN 50110 may be used as the guide in this matter. There may
be some variance on this depending upon national or local requirements.
4.2 Use of standard based products and non-standard based products
If the HBES is not covered by a standard, the inspector and/or commissioning engineer shall gain
knowledge of the product to ensure that no hazard or non-compliance with relevant regulations
exists. If necessary, liaison shall be sought with the HBES designer and/or the manufacturer of the
equipment to ensure that the intended safe operation and functionality is correct.
4.3 Reports
The provision of a report shall form an integral part of any inspection, testing and commissioning
procedure. This shall include all documents required for the testing and certification of the
installation.
4.4 Alternative cabling solutions
The inspector shall ensure that any cabling solution that has been chosen is compliant with the
relevant parts of EN 50090 or any other standard to which it has been designed.
5 Purpose of inspection
5.1 General
The purpose of inspection is to ensure that the HBES is electrically and functionally safe and also to
ensure that it meets the client’s or designer’s performance requirements and complies with all of the
relevant codes and statutory requirements.
This section deals with the initial inspection upon installation or installation stage completion and with
the subsequent periodic inspection of the HBES to ensure its continued safe and satisfactory operation.
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
- 7 - CLC/TR 50090-9-2:2007
Because this document covers both home and large building HBES, many of the aspects required for
inspection and testing large systems will not be relevant or applicable to home systems.
Where an addition or modification is carried out on the HBES, the effect of the addition or
modification on the existing HBES needs to be assessed and a decision made as to the extent of
the inspection of the new and existing installation.
The client shall provide all of the information necessary to inspect and test the HBES within the
building. The inspector shall ensure he has sufficient information from the client before he
proceeds. This shall include the designer's specification, manufacturer's instructions and data
sheets, system schematics, a list of standards that are applicable to the HBES, and a list of the
main functions, input/output/address list of the HBES with the worst case scenario and risk
analysis of what has to be tested.
The inspector shall ensure that all the EMC requirements for the installation have been met.
5.2 Initial inspection
This is the first inspection carried out upon completion of the HBES. On small installations it will
almost certainly be done at the end of the installation. However, on larger installations, it is more
likely to be done in stages.
The inspector shall verify that the HBES meets the client's specification, the HBES is installed
correctly, and also ensure the intended operation of HBES is both safe and operates as intended
by the client or system designer.
5.3 Periodic inspection
The purpose of periodic inspection is to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable, that the
installation is operating safely, efficiently and continues to meet the client’s requirements.
Periodic inspection is necessary because all installations deteriorate due to a number of factors
such as wear, tear, damage, corrosion, excessive loading, ageing and environmental influences.
The method by which it is done will depend upon a number of factors including manufacturers’
recommendations, statutory regulations, best practice, size and type of installation.
For larger installations under effective supervision in normal use, periodic inspection may be
replaced by an adequate schedule of continuous monitoring and maintenance of the installation
and its constituent equipment by skilled persons. A record must be kept of all inspections and tests
carried out on the HBES installation.
When an installation is maintained under a planned preventative maintenance programme and
supervised by a qualified engineer with results being recorded over a long period of time, then a
formal periodic inspection may not be required. The results may be recorded on paper or computer
and clearly detail what maintenance has been done and by whom. The results of any tests should
also be recorded and available for scrutiny if required.
5.4 Path to inspecting a HBES
The inspection of the HBES shall follow the event path listed below:
1. Before commencing, the inspector shall obtain from the client/system designer the following
contract documentation:
• the client’s or system designer’s specification;
• the hardware schedule and the installation specification;
• the operational specification for the system;
• the input/output/address schedule for the HBES control unit;
• the cause and effect diagram;
• layout drawings;
• cable and connection schedules;
• annunciator and alarm schedule.
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
CLC/TR 50090-9-2:2007 - 8 -
In the case of a domestic installation, this may simply consist of a letter confirming the order and
specifying a particular system and which options are required.
2. Where the HBES allows, the inspector shall then verify that the HBES meets with the client’s
specification.
All documents relating to the HBES shall have a unique reference number allocated to each of
them.
The inspector shall verify that the HBES within and/or outwith the building meets with the
following requirements:
• the HBES meets with the client's specification;
• the HBES has been installed in accordance with relevant drawings, codes of practice and
statutory requirements;
• the HBES covers statutory safety aspects and complies with CLC/TR 50090-9-2 “Home
and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) - Part 9-2: Installation requirements - Inspection
and testing of HBES installation”;
• the HBES is adequately protected against any detrimental influences that might exist.
It is important to note that a major difference between home and building inspections is the extent
to which an exhaustive inspection of schedules, plans and documents is required. Therefore, the
items listed in Annex C may either be minimal in content or not be applied at all to a small domestic
HBES.
5.5 Visual inspection
The following visual checks shall be made on the HBES:
(a) the adequacy of the power supply and interconnecting cables for a given application is in
accordance with the installation specification;
(b) the correct cables and glands have been satisfactorily installed;
(c) compliance with relevant standards and statutory requirements for the installation;
(d) the adequacy of cable supports, separation and cabling integrity;
(e) the suitability of equipment for its location;
(f) ensure both the cabling and equipment are readily identifiable in accordance with the
associated system drawings and schedules;
(g) check number, type, location, and hardware configuration of devices;
(h) verify that the HBES has been installed in such a way so as not to compromise the system
manufacturer's reliability figures (e.g. failure rates) or the client's reliability requirements (e.g.
lifetime figure).
6 Testing and commissioning
6.1 General
Prior to any testing or commissioning taking place a commissioning plan must be produced. Normally
this shall be done by the client or system designer and included with the contract documents, but, in
small systems it may all be all done by the one person. The complexity of the plan will again depend
upon the size and sophistication of the HBES and it will clearly state the duties of each person involved
in the process, the method of test reporting and the order of checks and phasing of the commissioning.
In addition to the aforementioned requirements the commissioning plan shall state what arrangements
shall be made to test and/or commission parts of the system which have natural obstacles to their
commissioning such as the heating system in the height of summer, etc.
The Inspector shall ensure that the electrical installation or the parts of the electrical installation, which
comprise part of the HBES, has been inspected and tested prior to the inspection of the HBES.
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
- 9 - CLC/TR 50090-9-2:2007
Before the commissioning phase can begin, the commissioning engineer must ensure that it is safe to
do so and that all necessary non HBES elements are in place, i.e. where appropriate fire doors, walls,
fire fighting apparatus, clear emergency escape routes, emergency lighting, fire alarms, etc. This will
also include clear unimpeded access to all areas and all associated permits drawn and issued where
necessary. For home systems only a small part of the clause applies.
Testing shall take place upon completion of visual inspection and is designed to ensure that the
installed cabling, components and equipment are in satisfactory condition and are safe to use once the
system is commissioned. On larger systems the testing will usually be done in sections rather than as a
composite stage. Hence, testing will need to be applied in a manner that takes into consideration both
the HBES size and complexity. The inspector or inspectors on a larger project shall assess the
requirements for each HBES accordingly.
Once testing is completed and any critical faults are fixed, the inspector (or inspectors) shall sign the
test sheets confirming their satisfaction with the installation to proceed to the commissioning phase.
6.2 Passive testing and inspecting
Passive testing and inspecting of the HBES is done prior to applying electrical energy to the system
and is only done after completion of a satisfactory visual inspection in accordance with Clause 6 of this
document.
6.2.1 Guidelines for testing HBES cables
Due to the variety of cables permitted in the EN 50090, this section is included for guidance for the
person or persons undertaking cable testing. Where a HBES or part of the HBES has been installed to
a particular standard then the cable test method specified by that standard should be utilised i.e.
HD 384/HD 60364 or for an EN 50173 based system EN 50346 shall be applied, etc.
This standard recognises that at this time there are many HBES and HBES system cables, which fall
out with any particular standard and gives the current best practice which should be used when
manufacturers recommendations for cable testing are not available. It also gives some advice for
wireless connections i.e. radio and I.R.
Power cables - Installation test.
Continuity test of conductors, screens and armour.
Short circuit test between conductors, screens and armour.
Bus cables - Continuity test of conductors and screens.
Short circuit test between conductors and screen.
Performance test as defined by system/cable manufacturer.
Twisted pair/
Multiple twisted pair - Continuity test of conductors and screens.
Short circuit test between conductors and screen.
Performance test and other tests as defined by the system/cable
manufacturer or by solution type employed i.e. for a system employing
an EN 50173 type solution should have their cables test in
accordance with EN 50346, etc.
Co-axial cables - Continuity test of conductor and screen.
Short circuit test between conductor and screen.
Radio system - Check for sources of possible interference and if a
radio frequency interference survey has been done
(usually only if requested by client).
I.R. - Check for sources of possible interference and if an
I.R. interference survey has been done
(usually only if requested by client).
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
CLC/TR 50090-9-2:2007 - 10 -
Optical Fibre - Light source and power meter or OTDR.
Single & Multimode Performance test and other tests as defined by the
System/cable manufacturer or by solution type employed i.e. for a
system employing an EN 50173 type solution should have their cables
test in accordance with EN 50346, etc.
6.2.2 Test instruments
All test instruments shall conform to the appropriate European Standard for safety, i.e. EN 61010
“Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use or similar”.
They shall be calibrated to ensure compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendation for
performance and accuracy.
6.3 Pre-commissioning
Upon successful completion of inspection and testing the installer, client or commissioning engineer
(this may be team or teams on large installations) shall pre commission the installation prior to placing
the system into service.
This procedure is only applicable to the parts of the system which performs control, switching or
automation and is done in two stages.
6.3.1 Input/output/address check
The inspector will force the outputs on and off by means of the software, programming unit or by
simulating inputs to cause the desire affect and the engineer will verify that the correct output/address
controls the correct field device. When outputs are of an analogue nature the field device will be
checked to ensure that it is at the corresponding value for 0, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %. Where
errors occur adjustments will be made and the process repeated until the acceptable manufacturers
tolerances have been met. This procedure will be repeated for input devices
Where analogue input devices are included the engineer shall ensure that they have been calibration
checked and have a certificate of calibration. For the purposes of checking the input calibration a test
instrument will be used.
6.3.2 Annunciator and alarm check
The inspector shall verify that all annunciation and alarms comply with the annunciation and alarm
schedule by simulation, where possible, the condition which causes the event.
A check shall be made to ensure that the annunciation or alarm descriptor and/or sound is in
compliance with the annunciation and alarm schedule.
For home systems the only annunciation and/or alarms may be LED’s and/or buzzer fitted on the HBES
unit.
6.3.3 Sequence/automation check
Upon successful completion of the input/output/address checks where possible the automation
sequences or control shall be checked. This may require overrides and simulators to be used to obtain
the desired sequences as described in the client or designers specification. Any overrides or simulators
should be listed and a check made to ensure their satisfactory removal upon successful completion of
the pre-commissioning with the list being checked off on an individual basis by the commissioning
engineer.
In domestic installation this stage may be minimum or not required. Where any doubts exist the
manufacturer or system designer should be consulted.
6.3.4 Radio and/or I.R. system checks
When a HBES contains a radio and/or I.R. communication system within or as part of the HBES, it
should be checked for resilience to ensure that normal communications are automatically re established
after power loss or any other short-term interference.
6.3.5 External communications link check
When the HBES is fitted with an external communications link, it should be checked for resilience to
ensure that normal communications are re-established or behave in the predicted manner following a
disturbance.

6.4 Commissioning
Upon successful completion of the pre commission as listed in 6.3, the commissioning engineer shall
place the HBES into service following the instructions as listed in the client or system designers
commissioning plan.
Once the system is in service adjustments shall be made to ensure that control valves are turned and
sensors adjusted where necessary to obtain optimum performance. At this stage, cameras, sound
systems, etc. should also be adjusted as required.
6.4.1 Interface units
Where the HBES provides a control, command or input which provides a subsequent control or
command action from a third party packaged unit, that unit must be
