ICCP of the Hydrocarbon Line

Gents we are about to commission C4+ (hydrocarbon) pipeline. This line is protected by ICCP. The commissioning procedure says that we have to either switch off or disconnect ICCP (impressed current cathodic protection) before commissioning. After the line is commissioned we again switch on the ICCP system.

Different people have different views on this. Some say that it is mandatory and some say they never heard of this and it is not required at all. What the group says about this?
