Tennessee Board of Professional Engineers Policy Statement April 10, 2014
"COMMISSIONING OF ENGINEERED SYSTEMS
Commissioning is a field of services provided to validate design concepts and systems operations. A variety of levels of professional expertise, using both licensed and unlicensed professionals, are used to deliver commissioning services.
It is the position of the Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners that commissioning of those systems that are engineered systems falls under the practice of architecture or engineering and must be performed under the responsible charge of a registered architect or professional engineer with the appropriate expertise.
