Start-up Hospital Isolated Power Panel Commissioning assures facility owners and design engineers that all construction materials and workmanship comply with code requirements for new installations. Successful commissioning validates the factory warranty on the Isolated Power System.

Per article 6.3.4.1.5, testing must also be performed using external simulated faults after any “repair or renovation” to the system. PG LifeLink Technicians can provide recertification testing for any brand of Isolated Power equipment. Recertification completed by PG Lifelink of renovated systems documents compliance with NFPA code requirements.
