Commission Testing
The Need for Commission Testing
Prior to activation, new or updated electrical equipment must undergo commissioning testing to verify its functionality. As a premier commission testing company, RW: KROON adheres to the trusted NETA Acceptance and Testing Standard. This rigorous process involves comprehensive tests to ensure that your components are prepared for initial energization. By identifying and addressing potential issues early, we help prevent problems before they arise, ultimately saving both time and money.

What is commissioning and acceptance testing?
Commissioning and acceptance testing is the process of verifying that newly installed or upgraded electrical systems and equipment are safe, correctly installed, and performing to their design specifications before being energized and put into service. It is the critical final step before any new or modified electrical system goes live — providing documented proof that the system meets all applicable standards and is ready for operation.
What does RW Electric's commissioning and acceptance testing service include?
RW Electric: A Division of KROON’s commissioning and acceptance testing services cover a comprehensive range of verification activities including insulation resistance testing, contact resistance testing, functional testing, protective relay testing, switchgear and breaker testing, cable testing, and full system verification. All testing is performed in accordance with applicable standards and a detailed test report is provided upon completion.
Why is acceptance testing important before energizing new electrical equipment?
Acceptance testing identifies installation defects, manufacturing defects, and equipment damage that may have occurred during shipping or installation — before the system is energized. Discovering and resolving these issues at the commissioning stage is far less costly and disruptive than dealing with failures after the system has been put into service. It also provides a documented baseline of the system’s condition for future maintenance reference.
What standards does RW Electric follow for commissioning and acceptance testing?
RW Electric’s commissioning and acceptance testing services are performed in accordance with the NETA Acceptance Testing Standard, CSA Z462, and other applicable Canadian and international standards. All testing is carried out by qualified technicians and engineers with the specialized equipment required to perform each test accurately and safely.
What types of electrical equipment does RW Electric commission and test?
RW Electric provides commissioning and acceptance testing for a broad range of electrical equipment including switchgear, transformers, circuit breakers, protective relays, motor control centers, cables, UPS systems, generators, and complete electrical distribution systems across low, medium, and high voltage applications.
Does RW Electric provide commissioning reports after testing is complete?
Yes. RW Electric provides detailed commissioning and acceptance test reports documenting all tests performed, the results obtained, and any deficiencies identified. These reports serve as the official record of the system’s condition at commissioning and are valuable references for future maintenance, insurance, and regulatory compliance purposes.
Can RW Electric perform commissioning on both new installations and upgraded systems?
Yes. RW Electric provides commissioning and acceptance testing for both brand new electrical installations and systems that have undergone significant upgrades or modifications. Any time new equipment is introduced or existing equipment is substantially changed, commissioning testing should be performed to verify correct operation before the system is returned to service.
Where does RW Electric provide commissioning and acceptance testing services?
RW Electric: A Division of KROON provides commissioning and acceptance testing services throughout Kingston and Eastern Ontario, and through the BCES Global network of subsidiary companies, across the rest of North America.
