Maintenance

What must be done, when, by whom and what evidence must be retained?

Use the six cadence groups and keep competence, procedure, pass threshold, stop condition, evidence and owner together.

About these intervals

These intervals are fictional project requirements, not manufacturer maintenance intervals.

Project records

Task detail

Daily - 0 tasks

No scheduled daily task is specified for this sample issue.

Weekly - 0 tasks

No scheduled weekly task is specified for this sample issue.

Monthly - 1 task

Monthly project record and visual condition check

Monthly - Building operator
Assets and zones
All project sensing points and project isolation valves in Zones R1, R2 and PM
Responsible party
Building operator
Competence
Building operator briefed on the Example Building 001 project procedure
Procedure
From a safe accessible position, compare each asset ID and serial with the project register, visually check for damage, leakage and obstruction, and record the visible indication. Do not press, reset, open, close, cycle or force any control.
Pass threshold
Identity matches the register, no visible damage, leakage or obstruction is found, and the observed indication is recorded.
Stop and escalate if
Stop if the identity does not match, damage, leakage or obstruction is found, access is unsafe or the visible indication cannot be recorded.
Evidence to retain
Dated visual-condition record with asset ID, serial and observed indication.
Warranty effect
Example Building 001 project procedure only - not manufacturer guidance.

Quarterly - 3 tasks

Quarterly physical condition inspection

Quarterly - Example Installer Ltd
Assets and zones
All leak-detection asset records in Zones R1 and R2
Responsible party
Example Installer Ltd
Competence
Competent maintainer familiar with the current wireless leak detector user manual
Procedure
Inspect accessible device and connection condition without disturbing live services.
Pass threshold
No visible damage, leakage, loose connection or unsafe condition is present.
Stop and escalate if
Stop if damage, leakage, heat or electrical risk is found.
Evidence to retain
Inspection record and defect photograph where needed.
Warranty effect
Retain condition evidence; warranty remains subject to manufacturer terms.

Quarterly valve travel and closure confirmation

Quarterly - Example Installer Ltd
Assets and zones
Isolation valve asset records in Zones R1, R2 and PM
Responsible party
Example Installer Ltd
Competence
Competent maintainer authorised for isolation and restart
Procedure
Follow the current project method for one controlled close-open cycle and confirm the actual water state.
Pass threshold
Full commanded travel and closure are confirmed without resistance or leakage.
Stop and escalate if
Stop if movement resists, closure is incomplete, the state is uncertain or leakage occurs.
Evidence to retain
Travel, closure and return-to-service result by asset ID and serial.
Warranty effect
Forced movement may affect warranty; never force the control.

Quarterly access obstruction check

Quarterly - Building operator
Assets and zones
All project asset access locations
Responsible party
Building operator
Competence
Building operator briefed on safe visual inspection
Procedure
Confirm safe access is clear without operating or moving the device.
Pass threshold
The device can be reached safely and the identity label can be read.
Stop and escalate if
Stop if access requires forced removal or exposes an electrical or water hazard.
Evidence to retain
Access-check record with location and any corrective action.
Warranty effect
Not applicable - project access housekeeping.

Annual - 2 tasks

Annual backup battery inspection

Annual - Example Installer Ltd
Assets and zones
Project assets listed as battery-backed
Responsible party
Example Installer Ltd
Competence
Competent maintainer following the current manufacturer instructions
Procedure
Check the recorded battery condition and use only the manufacturer-supported battery type where replacement is required.
Pass threshold
Normal indication is restored and the project functional check passes.
Stop and escalate if
Stop on heat, damage, leakage, wrong battery type or uncertain polarity.
Evidence to retain
Battery condition, type, date, asset serial and test result.
Warranty effect
Use of unsupported batteries may affect support; check current manufacturer terms.

Annual system service and flow re-baseline

Annual - Example Installer Ltd
Assets and zones
Whole Block A water-safety system
Responsible party
Example Installer Ltd
Competence
Competent maintainer authorised to isolate, measure and return the project system to service
Procedure
Service against current controlled documents and record the project flow baseline and isolation result.
Pass threshold
Measured results meet the commissioning method and all affected assets return to their recorded normal state.
Stop and escalate if
Stop on leakage, failed closure, unsafe access, abnormal indication or a result outside the project method.
Evidence to retain
Service sheet, measured results and return-to-service record.
Warranty effect
Annual project service evidence is retained; manufacturer warranty remains subject to current terms.

Event-triggered - 1 task

Post-alarm inspection

Event-triggered - Example Installer Ltd
Assets and zones
Affected project assets and area
Responsible party
Example Installer Ltd
Competence
Competent maintainer authorised for isolation, inspection and restart
Procedure
Inspect the affected area and asset, establish the cause and complete the ruled restart checks before return to service.
Pass threshold
The cause is cleared, the area is dry, the state is known and the safe restart check passes.
Stop and escalate if
Stop if the cause is unclear, electrical risk remains, a valve resists or the alarm repeats.
Evidence to retain
Alarm report, asset serial, findings, measured result and return-to-service record.
Warranty effect
Defects must be resolved and evidence retained before restart.
Trigger
After every alarm
