Transfer Line and Sector tests were conducted in the past and proved to be invaluable, fully meting their goals. They resolved a long list of problems, debugged and tested the control system, the beam instrumentation, timing and synchronization, software, etc. Measurements with beam allowed detailed optics and apertures checks to be performed, discovering aperture bottlenecks and polarity issues that could be solved before beam commissioning. Being those tests an essential precursor and a high profile milestone in preparation for full beam commissioning, transfer line and sector tests are again proposed before beam commissioning starts in 2015. This paper summarizes the proposed dates, the pre-requisites, how to stop the beam with collimators and the goals in what accelerator equipment commissioning and beam measurements are concerned.
