c) identifying and recording maintenance requirements at time of construction of facilities, or purchase / acquisition of
equipment;
d) creating and maintaining a maintenance register for all applicable equipment;
e) identifying and conducting planned maintenance activities at an appropriate frequency;
f) ensuring adequate provision for unplanned (breakdown) maintenance to ensure integrity of the facility is maintained at
all times;
g) determining and monitoring predictive maintenance requirements and associated indicators and monitors;
h) ensuring essential spare parts are available in line with a frequency appropriate to the risk of failure and need for
replacement;
i) a pest control programme.
NOTE 2 In planning and conducting equipment controls, the organization should consider:
a) identifying equipment in line with identified work needs, which can be demonstrated as fit for purpose;
b) controlling purchase / acquisition of equipment to ensure all necessary risk assessments are completed and approval
is authorized by competent personnel;
c) controlling entry and exit of equipment to and from the facility, including decontamination requirements (e.g. air locks
and decontamination).
NOTE 3 In planning and conducting calibration activities, the organization should consider:
a) identifying and recording calibration requirements at time of purchase / acquisition;
b) identifying the standards / tests that will be used to ensure the equipment is correctly calibrated;
c) creating a documented and up-to-date calibration register for all applicable equipment;
d) ensuring calibration is scheduled and conducted in line with manufacturer’s requirements and / or other specified
intervals as identified by risk assessment.
NOTE 4 In planning and conducting certification activities the organization should consider:
a) identifying and recording certification requirements at time of purchase / acquisition of equipment, including relevant
and current standards against which to certify;
b) ensuring competent and independent certifiers are used for the certification process;
c) ensuring certification is scheduled and conducted in line with manufacturer’s requirements and / or other specified
intervals as identified by risk assessment.
NOTE 5 In planning and conducting validation activities, the organization should consider:
a) identifying and recording validation requirements at time of purchase/acquisition;
b) identifying the standards/tests that will be used to ensure the equipment is correctly validated;
c) creating a documented and up-to-date validation register for all applicable equipment;
d) ensuring validation is scheduled and conducted in the line with manufacturer’s requirements and / or other specified
intervals as identified by risk assessment;
e) ensuring competent and independent validation companies are used for the validation process.
For physical security systems, the analogous concept is performance testing; evaluating the entire physical security
system (equipment, policies, procedures, and people) to ensure the system works as designed.
