8.4.2.2 Provision of information
Designs and specifications shall be produced in a clearly understandable format, include all relevant information and be distributed to the appropriate personnel.

- fixing schedule

- indication of which manufacturer and/or installer is responsible for each system and interface
- commissioning schedule
- manufacturers’ specifications

- commissioning certificates
- location of all ductwork runs, the fan unit and controls
- type, size and position of ducts and terminals
- direction of fall for ‘horizontal’ ductwork
