Presentation title: Guidance for front-line engineering and maintenance personnel on requesting and interpreting fitness-for-service assessments
Presentation abstract/summary:
EEMUA members have recognised the inconsistencies in the requesting and interpretation of fitness for service assessment. This can impact turnaround time, use of incorrect assumptions and potentially use of invalid FFS assessments. An EEMUA working group have been assembling a guide to support consistent and rigorous FFS approach across all sectors and organisations. This aims to give front line engineering and maintenance personnel guidance on how to request and interpret FFS assessment. This presentation will cover an initial overview of the draft content.
