	In the European-XFEL superconducting linac, mechanical frequency tuners equipped with stepper motors and piezoelectric actuators provide cold tuning of each of the 768 1.3 GHz cavities. More than 820 complete tuning systems were fabricated and pre-assembled in industry, tested at several stages before and after assembly and successfully commissioned during cryo-module cold tests at AMTF (DESY). Quality control strategy adopted to preserve the well-assessed tuner reliability through such a large-scale industrial production is critically reviewed and the lessons learned are presented in this paper. The statistical analysis of the large set of data acquired up to the recent commissioning of the entire linac is then summarized.

MOPB111	European XFEL Linac RF System Conditioning and Operating Test	328

	96 accelerating modules with 768 TESLA/European-XFEL type superconducting cavities were installed in the European XFEL LINAC tunnel (XTL) in the fall 2016. Warm conditioning of the RF system - High/Low Level RF System and main input couplers - begun even before finishing the accelerator installation works. All modules were conditioned and tested prior to the installation in the tunnel in the AMTF test stand at DESY. Nevertheless, due to some repair activities on warm input coupler parts, warm conditioning was needed on a few modules/couplers. Cooling down to 2K begun in December 2016 and was finished in January 2017. Since then cold conditioning and tests are running. Several cavities in a few modules did show the multipacting (MP) effects, mostly because a cavity vacuum was filled with a dry nitrogen for before mentioned repairs on couplers in some modules. Said MP effects were seen in AMTF as well. All MP effects were successfully conditioned until now. The warm/cold RF system conditioning and its results/experiences/limits are described and discussed.
