The new fast extraction system in LSS4 of the SPS and the transfer line TT40 were installed between 2000 and 2003, and commissioned with beam in late 2003. The extraction system and transfer line will serve both the anti-clockwise ring of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the long baseline neutrino (CNGS) facility. The layout and functionality of the main elements are briefly explained, including the various hardware subsystems and the controls system. The safety procedures, test objectives and results of the system commissioning with beam are described, together with the test methodology. Conclusions are drawn concerning the performance of the system elements, agreement between predicted and expected activation levels and test efficiency and procedures. The test results are also briefly discussed in the context of future LHC beam commissioning activities.
