VZD - Maintenance

This European Standard introduces methods and procedures when applying physical asset management as a framework to take into account the maintenance function within organisations strategic and tactical decision on physical assets and when applying physical asset management as a framework to maintenance activities. It also introduces at a methodological level the relationship between organizational strategic plan and the maintenance management system and describes at a procedural level the interrelations between maintenance process and all the other physical asset management processes.
This European Standard may be applied to managing the physical assets of organizations of all sizes especially goods producing organisations. However, if specific standards exist for a particular application, those standards may also be considered.
This European standard introduces methods and procedures for all the levels and functions of the organisations’ management such as corporate planning management, plant management, technical management, production management, financial management, asset management, maintenance management, quality management etc.
This European Standard consists of guidance and recommendations and is not intended to be used for
certification, regulatory, or contractual use.

This Standard describes a method to assess the physical condition of all types of immobile constructed assets in a uniform and objective way. The assessment results in a condition class, which expresses the technical state of maintenance of an asset at any certain moment in time on a six-point scale. It therefore can represent either the deterioration of an asset or part thereof or the physical condition at the time of commissioning. By repeating the assessment at regular intervals, it is possible to monitor the degradation of the asset over time. This document offers a uniform, objective and reproducible method with traceable results. It describes how to achieve the condition class, based on non-destructive observation of defects off any asset or part thereof by using a predefined breakdown structure. The appropriate breakdown structure of an asset is dependent upon the asset concerned and guidance for defining a uniform breakdown structure is given in Annex C.

This Standard gives guidelines for the alignment between financial and non-financial asset management functions, in order to improve internal control as part of an organization’s management system. Alignment of these functions will enable the realization of value derived from the implementation of asset management detailed within ISO 55000, ISO 55001 and ISO 55002, particularly ISO 55002:2018, Annex F. The guidance in this document is consistent with the requirements of ISO 55001 for an asset management system but does not add new requirements to ISO 55001 or provide interpretations of the requirements of ISO 55001. For an example of an organization aligning its asset management functions, see Annex F.

This European standard lists some significant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the Maintenance Function and gives guidelines to define a set of suitable indicators to appraise and to improve effectiveness, to appraise and to improve effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability in the maintenance of the existing physical assets, in the framework of the external and internal influencing factors

This document gives guidelines for the application of an asset management system, in accordance with
the requirements of ISO 55001.
This document can be applied to all types of assets and by all types and sizes of organizations.
NOTE 1 This document is intended to be used for managing physical assets in particular, but it can also be
applied to other asset types.
NOTE 2 This document does not provide financial, accounting or technical guidance for managing specific
asset types, however, in Annex F information is provided on the relationship between the financial and nonfinancial
asset management functions.
NOTE 3 For the purposes of ISO 55000, ISO 55001 and this document, the term “asset management system” is
used to refer to a management system for asset management.

The objective of this European Standard is to provide the RBI Framework (RBIF) and basic guideline for Risk-Based Inspection and Maintenance (RBIM) in hydrocarbon and chemical process industries, power generation and other industries.
Although RBIF encompasses both inspection and maintenance, this document focuses primarily on RBI and its applicability within the context of RBIM. The RBIF thereby supports optimization of operations and maintenance as well as asset integrity management.
The main goal of this European Standard is to facilitate the establishment of risk based inspection and maintenance programs in the industrial plants in a documented and efficient way, while, at the same time, legal regulations are complied with and safety, health, and environmental performance is maintained or improved.
The RBIF addresses primarily the static containment equipment (e.g. tanks, piping), dynamic/rotating containment equipment (e.g. pumps, turbines, valves) and pressure relief devices, but can be extended to other types of equipment if appropriate. It addresses primary the equipment and/or systems in the in-service phase of the operation, but can be applied also in the, e.g. design-phase for analysis and determination of maintenance/inspection strategies or life extension phases.
The RBIF approach can also be used to ensure that targets pertinent to health, safety and environment are achieved, providing that legislative requirements are implemented and the required actions are taken.

This European Standard specifies generic terms and definitions for the technical, administrative and managerial areas of maintenance. It may not be applicable to terms which are used for the maintenance of software only.

Maintenance is a process since it consists of organised, coordinated tasks using resources and performed by various players to obtain a given result. This proposal consists in providing a generic description of the maintenance process to allow an understanding of the actions and interactions between processes. It should apply to all systems and all organisations and should therefore be established without a particular organisation in mind and does not aim to propose one.
The purpose of the breakdown into processes and the representation of their interrelationships is to help maintenance personnel, and particularly management, to:
 clearly identify the actions to be taken in order to meet the overall objectives set by Management in terms of maintenance. It provides a breakdown of the maintenance process into several levels, which makes it possible to clearly indicate the activities to be carried out at a relevant level of detail;
 delegate responsibilities that ensure the realisation of the identified actions with the required performance levels;
 for each process, clearly determine:
 the necessary inputs and their origin;
 the required results and their intended uses; and, in that way, define all the links that join the processes together and allow the realisation of the overall process;
 provide the ability to define indicators and scorecards in relation with EN15341 for measuring the realisation of each process and monitoring its effectiveness.
This description of the maintenance process will help maintenance managers by giving them a way to compare their organisation to the generic representation described and to detect insufficient actions, unassigned responsibilities and/or poorly established links.
