# Kent Commissioning Checklists: Pass/Fail Discipline

> Pass/fail discipline, photo evidence, and customer sign-off — how Kent commissioning checklists keep every hybrid site fully to standard.

A Kent system is commissioned when every box is ticked, every pass condition met, the photo set uploaded, and the customer has signed — not before. These three checklists give you that discipline in a field-ready format.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Common" icon="list-check" href="/checklists/common-commissioning">
    Every Kent hybrid site, both platforms — run this first.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Kent M1" icon="bolt" href="/checklists/m1-commissioning">
    Single-phase platform additions — run after Common.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Kent G3" icon="bolt" href="/checklists/g3-commissioning">
    Three-phase platform additions — run after Common.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Run **Common first, then your platform's list.** Items never cross platforms — M1 steps do not apply to G3 and vice versa.

## Pass/fail discipline

Every item in these checklists has a defined **pass condition**. Meet it, tick it. If you cannot meet it, the item is a **fail** — and a failed safety or sequence item stops the commissioning until you fix it and re-verify.

* 📷 marks items that require a photo in the commissioning record. The full shot list is the [Site Photo Checklist](/environment/site-photo-checklist).
* Items carrying a **KNB-VAL** tag have a value pending Kent confirmation. Apply the stated interim rule exactly and record what you measured — the interim rule is mandatory, not optional.

<Note>
  Treating a KNB-VAL interim rule as optional because "the real number is coming" is not acceptable. Record the measured value against the tag every time.
</Note>

## The commissioning record

A complete commissioning record has four parts. All four must be present before you leave the site.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Completed checklist(s)">
    Every item ticked, every pass condition noted. Common plus the relevant platform list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Full photo set — uploaded same-day">
    Photos taken today, uploaded today. Photos left for later have a 40% survival rate.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Settings snapshot">
    Photograph every settings screen after final configuration. This is the restore point for every future service visit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customer sign-off">
    Walkthrough completed, DO/DON'T handover card left on site, customer signature captured with the record.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Common mistakes

| Mistake                                                             | Why it matters                                                                     |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Ticking now, photographing "later"                                  | Photos taken after leaving are unreliable and often never happen                   |
| Treating a KNB-VAL tag as advisory                                  | Interim rules are the current field standard — deviating creates an unrecorded gap |
| Running the backup test with a lamp instead of real essential loads | The test must prove your actual installation, not a proxy                          |
| Leaving zero-export "configured" but never witnessed                | Configuration without a utility-meter witness is not commissioning                 |
