INTRODUCTION

The CCC replaces the Certificate of Fitness For Occupation (CFO).

It awards a full control to Professional Engineer, Professional Architect and Building Plan Draftsman to issue CCC and Local Authorities will not bother any more to issue Certificate of Fitness for Occupation (CFO).

This new system is an attempt towards self-certification and self-regulation approach in the construction industry.

Completion and Compliance Certification (CCC) was put on effect on 12 April 2007.

CCC will cut down on red-tape and ensure that house buyers and building owners get to move in as quickly as possible without compromising their safety

The introduction of the matrix of responsibility (Form Gs), will improve the accountability and responsibility aspect

ADVANTAGES

The CCC will be issued by the Professional Architect or Professional Engineer who is registered with the respective Board of Architects Malaysia (BAM) or Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) acting in the capacity of PSP.

For buildings which require intensive design input, the Professional Architect will function as the PSP while the Professional Engineer will be the PSP for the projects with high engineering input in nature.

For the bungalows which do not exceed 2 floors in height and 300 square meters in total built up floor area, the registered Building Draughtsman will perform the role of PSP and will issue the CCC.

The CCC can only be issued when all parties concerned are satisfied that the building construction have been supervised and completed full compliance with the provisions of the law and technical conditions as imposed by the LA in approving the Planning Permission and Building Plan.

COMISSIONNING

According to Section 01 91 00 (01810)-1 Commissioning (2010), commissioning is a comprehensive and systematic process to verify that the building systems perform as designed to meet the owner’s requirements. Commissioning during the construction, acceptance, and warranty phases is intended to achieve the following specific objectives:

Verify and document that equipment is installed and started per manufacturer’s recommendations; industry accepted minimum standards, and the Contract Documents.

Verify and document that equipment and systems receive complete operational checkout by installing contractors.

Verify and document equipment and system performance. Verify the completeness of operations and maintenance materials. Ensure that the Owner’s operating personnel are adequately

trained on the operation and maintenance of building equipment.

STEPS IN COMMISSIONING PROCESS

1. The project purpose At this method the developer will purpose to build the building .At this step also the

client will follow the requirement of client about the design of building.

2. Architect design the plan At this method the developer will selected the architect to design the plan based on

the client requirement. At this method also the architect will draft the fire system in building

3. The engineer will design the fire system in building At this method the engineer will design the fire system in a building

4. Project Inspection Application for inspection only can be made after Architectural Plan and M& E was

approved by the BOMBA.

5. Submit the plan to BOMBA After the design of fire system finished the engineer will submit the plan to BOMBA to

get the approval from BOMBA about the design of fire system.

PROCEDURE TO INSTALL FIRE SYSTEM IN A BUILDING

PROCEDURE FOR INSPECTION TESTING AND COMMISSIONING THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM

Ensure access to the extinguisher is not obstructed by storage bins, file cabinets, or similar items

Make sure the extinguisher is mounted in a location where it is visible and easy to locate during an emergency

Check the tamper-seal to verify it is not broken or missing Ensure the pull-pin is not missing Check the pressure gauge to make sure the indicator is in the operating range (the needle

should be located in the green portion of the gauge) Note: Carbon Dioxide extinguishers do not have a gauge. The only method for verifying a carbon

dioxide extinguisher is fully-charged is to weigh the unit, and weighing extinguishers is outside the scope of the normal visual inspection.

Check the extinguisher for obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage, or a clogged nozzle, and report any problems with campus extinguishers to Fire Prevention Services so we can make corrective measures

Keep track of when the last professional inspection was;

off-campus this information is likely written on a paper

inspection tag, and on campus Fire Prevention Services

monitors the dates of annual inspections through barcodes on the

extinguishers The label should carry SIRIM product certification logo Each extinguisher shall have a valid Fire and Rescue Department H13

certificate The cylinder body and valve should be rust free

Portable fire extinguisher inspection

Hydrostatic testing (Water Jacket type) The extinguisher valve is removed and the threads and interior of

the cylinder are checked for corrosion, pitting and any other abnormalities by using visual inspection.

If the cylinder passes the inspection, it is then placed into a steel chamber which is then filled with water at normal pressure.

A glass burette attached to the side of the steel chamber will read zero indicating normal or zero pressure of the chamber water.

After that, water is applied to the interior of the extinguisher's cylinder at high pressure.

As the pressure increases, the cylinder will expand and push water from the steel chamber through a small hole and into the glass burette.

When the pressure is released, the cylinder will contract and the water will move from the burette back to the steel chamber.

Depending on the results the tester will either pass or fail the cylinder.


Portable fire extinguisher testing & commissioning

Quantity of the system The capacity of the CO2 The installation of the manual key switch at

the system Connection between the system to the main

fire alarm panel Warning lamp at the top of the

exit door (red and green) Installation of the curtain wall


Fixed gas system (CO2 system) inspection

Using smoke bombs, local heaters, or other methods to test operation of the detectors and sensors.

Discharge of CO2 is not required during this test.

Operation of the discharge valve or pneumatic/electrical discharge devices should be verified.

position of the duty pump manual Open the test valve slowly, watch the fall of pressure, record the pressure

when the pump Standby function Close the test valve Press the stop button on the pump panel to stop the standby pump- Make sure the pressure readings in the original position

Automatic sprinkler system testing & commissioning


Nearest external hydrant should not exceeding 91.5 m or 300 feet from the new building

Type of new external hydrant Position of the false spindle Hydrant chamber base had been concrete The flow and pressure of the water come out from the hydrant Colour of the external hydrant The pits The frames The covers Surface paving round edges of frames

External fire hydrant system inspection


Flow test Locate personnel at the test hydrant and at all flow hydrants

to be used. Remove the hydrant cap from the test hydrant and attach

your WFR Cap Gauge with the petcock in the open position. After checking the other caps for tightness, open the hydrant slowly using several turns. Once the air has escaped and a steady stream of water is flowing, the petcock should be closed and they hydrant opened fully.

Read and record the static pressure as shown on the Cap Gauge.

The individuals at the flow hydrants should remove the caps from the outlets to be flowed.

External fire hydrant system testing & comissionning


Static Pressure Test Measured placing a pressure gauge on a

hydrant port and opening the hydrant valve. Water cannot flow of the hydrant when static

pressure is measured. The static pressure reading assumes that

there is no water flow in the system.

External fire hydrant system testing & comissionning


Check position of the breaching inlet > 18m and no obstacle on between

The position of the landing valve on the protected are, at the staircase and also lift lobby is based on the approval drawing.

Drain valve prepared on the breeching inlet at the ground floor

Check Bomba main pipe should not exceeding more than 12m to the riser pipe.

Glass fronted cabinet is installed at the inlet valve Air release valve at the top level also should be installed. Check size of the riser pipe, the high of the building. Check number of the breeching inlet or 4 ways breeching inlet.

Dry riser system inspection


Pre-test Initial system inspection. Initial water flush through to ensure system is clear of debris.

Flow rate test Water is passed through the system under pressure. Flow gauge reading is measured and recorded to ensure the

system is capable of sustaining an efficient fire fighting jet. The flow rate should be considered insufficient or any undue

loss of pressure is identified further investigation will be necessary.

Dry riser system testing & comissionning

a

Open fire alarm panel and remove any dust/ foreign objects. Check for the security of the components, including modules, relays, power

supply unit and other accessories. Carry out the system functional checks and ensure that all components in the

various loops are fully serviceable. If any faulty indication is noticed, locate the equipment and analyze the reason for the reason for the mal-functioning. Isolate the faulty component/ equipment and check the system functioning. Once the reason for failure of the system component is confirmed, replace the component and put the system back to normalcy.

Carry out visual checks and with portable testers and ensure the serviceability of Fault isolation modules, control Modules and Monitor Modules as a preventative maintenance measure.

Check on the general condition of the Detector

(Photo, Ionization, and HD), manual call Points, Hooters and Repeater panels. Clean the components and wherever

required remove them, dust them and re-install at their respective

stations. Wherever the cable continuity is suspected carry out insulation and

continuity checks to avoid surprise failures. Ensure the cable

clearings and insulation are proper and if required provide

replacement. This is considered as a preventative maintenance.

Conventional fire alarm system inspection


All pumps and motors are to be maintained as per the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.

Type of servicing with various periodicities has been laid down in the schedule.

Proper recording of all rectification/maintenance carried out are to be made and client shall be informed on any noticeable observations.

Maintenance documents are to be prepared in duplicate and one copy to be given to the client after obtaining signature for their record purpose.

Pumps and motor inspection


Hose reel system cannot be used for other than to fire fighting and testing purpose. Usage of hose reel for washing cars / motorcycle or watering plant is absolutely prohibited.

The hose reel which has been placed in the boxes must be accessible. If it is locked, the keys have to be displayed on the boxes to enable it to be used during emergency.

Hose reel boxes/rooms cannot be used as storage (especially for storing cleaning equipments,

newspaper etc). The respective Cost Centre is responsible for this.
