What is Critical Infrastructure Commissioning?
Critical infrastructure commissioning is a systematic process that ensures all essential systems—such as data centers, power grids, telecommunication networks, and healthcare facilities—are designed, installed, tested, and maintained to operate at peak performance.
At Ziltose, we specialize in end-to-end commissioning services that guarantee your infrastructure meets industry standards, safety regulations, and operational efficiency.
1. Lifecycle Management: Manages all project phases from design to handover, ensuring a seamless transition and optimal performance.
2. Standards Compliance: Adheres to ASHRAE, NFPA, BICSI, NETA, IEEE, and ASME standards
3. Comprehensive Testing: Conducts Level 1 to Level 5 (L1 to L5) activities including:
-
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
-
Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)
-
Integrated Systems Testing (IST)
4. System Validation: Ensures proper design, installation, testing, operation, and maintenance of all critical systems, including HVAC, power, cooling, fire protection, security, electrical distribution, UPS, generators, and environmental controls.
5. Detailed Inspections: Performs thorough inspections and functional performance testing to verify systems are fully operational and capable of supporting intended loads.

What is data center commissioning, and why is it important?Data center commissioning is a structured process that ensures all critical systems (power, cooling, IT infrastructure) function as designed before going live. It minimizes the risk of failures, enhances uptime, and ensures compliance with Uptime Institute, ASHRAE, and ISO standards.
-
What are the different levels of commissioning (L1 to L5) in a data center?Commissioning is divided into five levels: Level 1 – Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): Equipment testing before shipment. Level 2 – Site Acceptance Testing (SAT): Verifying installation at the site. Level 3 – Pre-Functional Testing (PFT): Initial testing of individual systems. Level 4 – Functional Performance Testing (FPT): Integrated system performance testing. Level 5 – Integrated System Testing (IST): Full-scale operational testing under real-world conditions.
-
What is the role of a commissioning agent in data center projects?A commissioning agent (CxA) ensures that the facility meets its design intent by overseeing installation, testing, and performance validation. They act as an independent third party to verify compliance with standards and project specifications.
-
What are the Uptime Institute commissioning requirements for Tier III & Tier IV data centers?The Uptime Institute mandates rigorous testing protocols, including redundancy validation, integrated system testing, and failure scenario simulations to ensure reliability for Tier III (N+1) and Tier IV (2N+1) data centers.
