Commissioning:
Historien om hvor ordet stammer fra

Commissioning processen stammer fra skibsindustrien

Historien om ordet

Historien om Commissioning starter tilbage dengang, hvor latin var udbredt. Herefter har det været en tur forbi skibs- og flyindustrien, før det blev til den Commissioning vi kender.

Commissioning på dansk

Når "Commissioning" oversættes til dansk, bliver det ofte oversat til "Idriftsættelse", "Ibrugtagning" og "Første idrifttagning". Det er en smule misvisende, da idriftsættelse blot er en af mange ting, som Commissioning processen indeholder.

Ordets oprindelse

Selve ordet "Commissioning" stammer til gengæld fra latin, hvor det startede som ordet committere. Det er en sammensætning af de to latinske ord com (med, sammen) og mittere (give slip, sende afsted, kaste). De to ord sammensat udgjorde committere, som betyder: at forene, forbinde, kombinere og at samle.

Fra committere blev det til commissionem (latin) til commission (gammel fransk) og slutteligt til det engelske commission i midten af 1300 tallet. Den gang startede ordets betydning med at være:

commission (midt 1300)
authority entrusted to someone, delegated authority or power


Herefter gik der et par år, og i slutningen af 1400 tallet, blev betydningen ændret til:

commission (slut 1400)
body of persons charged with authority for the performance of certain special duties


I 1560'erne blev ordets betydning ændret igen, dog stadig med samme det samme underliggende betydning.

commission (1560'erne)
anything entrusted to anyone to perform

Ordets vej til Commissioning

Billedet nedenfor viser, hvordan ordet er blevet til:

Hvordan ordet commission blev til

Egenavn og forkortelser

Herudover er ordet mange steder taget ind som et egenavn, da vi har opkaldt vores proces efter det - altså Commissioning med stort C. Det er dog ikke alle, som ønsker at benytte det som egenavn, heriblandt Dansk Standard DS 3090.

Commissioning forkortes ofte som Cx, men jeg har ikke kunne finde oprindelsestidspunktet for dette. Cx benyttes som en direkte erstatning af Commissioning, for eksempel: Cx plan, Cx krav osv.

Metoden med at indsætte et X for at forkorte ord benyttes mange forskellige flere steder. Morsekoder er et kendt eksempel, hvor blandt andet "Transmitting" og "Receiving" bliver forkortet med "TX" og "RX", hvilket efterfølgende også benyttes i dataindustrien som forkortelser. Flyindustrien benytter det også, heriblandt for passagerer, som forkortes "PAX".


Brugen af ordet

Googles søgemaskine har indekseret et stort omfang af bøger fra 1500 tallet og til 2008. Det har derfor været muligt at udtrække data over, hvor ofte ordet commissioning er forekommet.


Fra skib til bygning

En Commissioning ceremoni er, når et skib sættes i søen. Men konceptet Commissioning stammer fra skibsindustrien, hvor det referer til test af skibets systemer, før det bliver sat i søen. Kvalitetsprocessen er en essentiel del af at bygge skibe grundet risikoen for fejl, som kan medføre personskader og tab af liv på søen.

Den forøgede risiko ved skibe er også og finde i flyindustrien, hvor Commissioning også har været benyttet i mange år. Fælles for både skibe og fly er, at deres kvalitetsstyringsproces har rødder i "Quality programs" fra 1970'erne, som er den direkte udløber til "Total Quality Management programs" fra 1980'erne.

Commissioning begyndte at blive implementeret på byggerier i løbet af 1970-80'erne, som en energibesparende foranstaltning og fik stor fart i takt med energikrisen i 1970'erne. I løbet af 1980'erne og 1990'erne blev bygnings Commissioning mere almindelig i USA - især i offentlige projekter.

I 1984 blev "ASHRAE HVAC Commissioning Guideline Committee" opstartet. Det var også samme år, at University of Wisconsin-Madison startede med at udbyde Commissioning kurser. I 1988 udgav ASHRAE deres første "HVAC Commissioning Guideline" og i de følgende år, blev der udgivet flere Commissioning vejledninger.

I starten fokuserede Commissioning kun på de mekaniske installationer, men dette har siden ændret sig siden. Byggerier er blevet meget mere komplekse og kravene til dem mere omfangsrige. Den teknologiske udvikling har ligeledes medført, at de mange nye tekniske installationer kan interagere på kryds og tværs. Commissioning favner nu alle aspekter af byggeriet: de mekaniske, elektrotekniske anlæg og bygningens klimaskærm.

Commissioning er i dag blevet en international anerkendt proces, som bruges på nybyggeri såvel som eksisterende byggerier.
