Answer first 先说结论
An existing generator does not prove that a Malaysian factory, warehouse or data centre has dependable backup power.
现场已有发电机，不能证明马来西亚厂房、仓库或数据中心拥有可靠的备用电力。
The unit may be undersized, registered under another installation owner, unable to start critical motors, disconnected from the correct loads, short of usable fuel, restricted by noise or exhaust conditions, or never tested under realistic load.
设备可能容量不足、登记在另一名装置拥有人名下、无法启动关键马达、没有连接正确负载、可用燃油不足、受到噪音或排气条件限制，或从未在真实负载下测试。
Before committing to the property, verify the complete chain: critical load → generator rating → starting and step load → ATS or synchronising controls → protection and earthing → electrical registration → fuel storage and delivery → ventilation and exhaust → noise and vibration → fire interface → load testing → contractual handover.
承诺物业前，应核实完整证据链：关键负载 → 发电机额定值 → 启动与阶跃负载 → ATS或并联系统 → 保护与接地 → 电气装置登记 → 燃油储存与补给 → 通风与排气 → 噪音与振动 → 消防联动 → 带载测试 → 合同交接。
Malaysia's Energy Commission states that electrical installations generally require registration under section 21 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990 unless exempted.
马来西亚能源委员会说明，除获豁免者外，电气装置一般须根据《1990年电力供应法令》第21条登记。
Its ECOS registration guidance expressly includes a standby generating set installed to supply energy when a licensee's supply is interrupted, and requires an online update when a registered installation is enlarged or modified.
其ECOS登记指南明确包括在持牌供电者停电时供电的待机发电机；已登记装置如扩建或改动，也须在线更新。
A registration certificate is also not transferable without the Commission's permission.
登记证书未经能源委员会批准也不得转让。
These points make registration and ownership evidence transaction issues, not paperwork to examine only after occupation.
因此，登记与拥有人证据属于交易事项，而不应等到入驻后才处理。
What “generator-ready” should mean“发电机就绪”应具备什么条件
“Generator-ready” should mean that a defined set of loads can be supported for a defined duration and restored within a defined time, with compliant electrical, fuel, environmental and fire arrangements.
“发电机就绪”应表示：一组明确的负载可在明确时长内获得支持，并在明确时间内恢复，同时具备合规的电气、燃油、环境与消防安排。
It should not mean merely that a genset appears in a listing photograph.
