T 2.5 Lack of, or inadequate, maintenance<br />

Operability of the system used must be ensured on a continuing basis. Regular<br />

maintenance can enhance assurance of continuous service. Lack of, or<br />

insufficient maintenance can result in incalculable damage and late effects.<br />

Examples:<br />

- Due to a lack of maintenance, the batteries of an uninterruptible power<br />

supply (UPS) system are no longer sufficient (too little acid), and thus t he<br />

UPS system cannot ensure power supply for a sufficiently long period.<br />

- Due to deficient maintenance, the pressure of fire extinguishers has<br />

dropped to a point where they no longer retain their fire-fighting effect.<br />

- Overheating results in the failure of a laser printer because a ventilation<br />

grid has not been properly cleaned.<br />
