8 Maintenance

  8.1 The equipment should be so designed that the main units can be replaced readily, without elaborate recalibration or readjustment.

  8.2 Equipment should be so constructed and installed that it is readily accessible for inspection and maintenance purposes.

  8.3 Adequate information should be provided to enable the equipment to be properly operated and maintained. The information should:

  • .1 in the case of equipment so designed that fault diagnosis and repair down to component level are practicable, provide full circuit diagrams, component layouts and a component parts list; and

  • .2 in the case of equipment containing complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to component level are not practicable, contain sufficient information to enable a defective complex module to be located, identified and replaced. Other modules and those discrete components which do not form part of modules should also meet the requirements of .1 above.
