Testing and Commissioning checklist for fire fighting pumps

The testing and commissioning of fire fighting pumps is a critical part of ensuring that they are operational and effective in the event of a fire. A comprehensive checklist should be used to ensure that all aspects of the pump are tested and commissioned correctly. This includes checking the power supply, testing the pump itself, and ensuring that all associated equipment is also properly tested and commissioned.
