This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Commissioning includes:

the development of a commissioning procedure, testing of operation and adjustment to conform to specification

Control system includes:

closed or open on continuous or step process control systems. Loop/system control can incorporate the use of pneumatics, electrical, electronics, hydraulics or a combination

System components include one (1) or more of the following:

all instruments and devices which make up or control a loop/system, including:

sensing devices

control devices

actuators

transducers
