This European Prestandard (ENV) was approved by CEN on 12 March 2001 as a prospective standard for provisional application.
The period of validity of this ENV is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the ENV can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this ENV in the same way as for an EN and to make the ENV available promptly
at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the ENV) until the final
decision about the possible conversion of the ENV into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
This European Prestandard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 319 "Maintenance", the secre-
tariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by October 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by October 2001.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
The value of maintenance to the owners of items (as defined in EN 13306:2001) cannot be overemphasised.
Proper maintenance protects the value of the capital invested and ensures that the required availability is attained.
In addition, as technical and economic developments increase, the demand for contracted maintenance services
both nationally and across borders also increases.
It is therefore important that maintenance contracts are approached in a structured and careful manner .
The purpose of this Prestandard is to:
– promote cross-border company/maintenance contractor relationships and to produce a clear interface
between the company and the maintenance contractor for maintenance services;
– improve the quality of maintenance contracts so that disputes and adjustments are minimised.
– draw attention to the scope of maintenance services and to identify options for their provision;
– give assistance in, and advice on, the drafting and negotiation of maintenance contracts and in specifying
arrangements in the case of dispute;
– identify types of maintenance contracts and to make recommendations for the attribution of rights and
obligations between the parties of the contract including risks;
– simplify comparison between maintenance contracts.
This document is simply a working tool intended for parties who wish to draw up a maintenance contract. It offers
headings which are not exhaustive and which parties may or may not include, exclude, modify and adapt to their
own contractual relationship.
This working tool does not bind the parties to use any part of this document.
Not all the clauses discussed in the guideline will be applicable to every contract.
Each individual contract should be drafted, and negotiated where appropriate, to take into account the
requirements arising from the work required on the items to be maintained, the parties involved and any applicable
laws and regulations.
The Prestandard contains the following clauses to assist the user:
– Clause 4 "Maintenance activities and stages to the maintenance contract" gives a structured overview of
possible maintenance services offered or required. Its purpose is to give advice on activities which may be
required in preparing a contract and prior to signing of agreements and also those activities which may be
required during the period of any contract.
– Clause 5 "Structure and content", provides a standard check list for use when drafting maintenance contracts
together with important elements for content.

When using the Prestandard a three step approach should be followed:
– Step 1: The company should decide which maintenance services will be provided in-house and which
services will be contracted out; i.e., which maintenance services should be bought from a maintenance
contractor and therefore be subject to a maintenance contract;
– Step 2: A pre-qualification stage follows any decision to contract out part or all of any maintenance and it is
during this period that the company will identify any contractor or contractors with the capability of performing
the required maintenance tasks.
– Step 3: The contract may be prepared using the guidance in this Prestandard and the maintenance contractor
selected either by price negotiation or by competitive tender.
1 Scope
This Prestandard provides guidance on the preparation of contracts for maintenance work.
It can be applied to:
– cross-border as well as national company/maintenance contractor relationships;
– the whole range of maintenance services including planning, management and control in addition to mainte-
nance operations;
– every type of item with the exception of computer software unless the software has to be maintained as an
integral part of, and together with, technical equipment.
It does not:
– provide standard forms for maintenance contracts;
– determine rights and obligations between company and maintenance contractor.

4 Maintenance activities and stages to the maintenance contract
Activities can be broadly divided into those required prior to the signing of the contract and those required after it
has been signed.
4.1 Pre-contract activities
These consist of actions which are required prior to preparing, and in order to prepare, a contract.
Such activities may comprise:
– identifying the maintenance service required;
– preparing a maintenance policy and a strategy for its implementation;
– making a decision on whether to provide the maintenance service in-house or to contract it out;
– deciding the type of maintenance contract which may be appropriate and preparing the required specification;
– identifying maintenance contractors who are capable of carrying out the tasks required;
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
SIST ENV 13269:2002
Page 6
ENV 13269:2001
– preparing the contract;
– Calling for tender and/or negotiating a price;
– evaluating the returned tenders received and selecting the successful maintenance contractor.
4.2 Contract activities
These consist of those actions to be carried out by the maintenance contractor and those which will be carried out
by the company after the contract has been signed.
There should be adequate liaison between each party to ensure the smooth running of the contract.
The maintenance contractor's actions may cover:
– supplying the resources in men, material and equipment to complete the work required by the contract. This
may include dividing the work down into discrete tasks;
– preparing a work programme and carrying out the work in accordance with that programme and the require-
ments of the contract;
– providing the management required to control the programme and the work force at every stage;
– submitting claims for payment;
– management of possible contract changes.
The company actions may cover:
– budget control of the contract and validation of maintenance contractor's claims for payment;
– agreeing any extra work which may be required or other variations to the contract;
– quality assurance requirements and overall management to ensure that the contractor meets the
requirements of the contract;
– verifying the performance of the contract;
– payment.
