commissioning
In technical and industrial contexts, this term refers to a rigorous verification phase. It is not merely the act of turning a machine on, but a structured sequence of testing and validation to ensure safety and performance standards are met before operational handover.
In military and artistic contexts, the word denotes a formal initiation or authorization. When applied to officers, it carries a heavy weight of official authority and legal status. When applied to art, it emphasizes the contractual nature of the creation, where the work is produced specifically for a client rather than as a spontaneous expression of the artist.
Meanings
The process of designing, installing, and testing a piece of equipment or a system to ensure it operates according to the design intent and owner's requirements before it is formally put into service.
Examples
