CEN/TC 319 - Maintenance

This document specifies and gives guidance on the performance and condition assessment process of existing physical assets in the utilization stage (from commissioning to the end of life).
This document relates to assessment of physical assets within the building and civil engineering sector; however, it can also be used in other sectors where applicable.
This document specifies a generic framework for assessment, specification of requirements, the observation process and gathering of the required information in order to sustain informed asset management decision making.
This document is an umbrella standard and refers to other standards for detailed methods. It does not replace any other standard, but is an addition to provide a system for the assessment work.
NOTE 1   The references to other standards only relate to building and civil engineering works. There are no references for production machinery and equipment, offshore, electrical and mechanical assets, mobile assets and non-tangible assets.
NOTE 2   In this document the physical assets will be referred to as assets, except in the Clause Terms and definitions.

This document lists Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the Maintenance Function and gives guidelines to define a set of suitable indicators, to appraise and to improve effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability in the maintenance of the existing physical assets either industrial, infrastructures, facilities, civil buildings or transportation systems, etc. in the framework of the external and internal influencing factors.

This document specifies the maintenance engineering discipline throughout the entire life cycle.
This document gives guidance on how maintenance engineering can contribute to the assurance of required dependability to achieve a sustainable balance between performance, risk and costs.
This document refers to standards that further describe detailed methods and techniques.
This document does not give guidance on how to set up systems and infrastructure for maintenance engineering nor does it include guidance on software maintenance.
NOTE 1   For software components of an item, the maintenance activities are covered in ISO/IEC/IEEE 14764 [54].
NOTE 2   The overall maintenance process is covered by EN 17007 [10].

This document specifies methods and procedures when applying physical asset management as a framework to take maintenance into account as an influencing factor within an organizations’ strategic and tactical decisions on its physical assets, and when applying physical asset management as a framework to maintenance activities. It also specifies the relationship between organizational strategic plan and the maintenance management system at a methodological level and describes the interrelations between maintenance process and all the other physical asset management processes at a procedural level.
This document is applicable to managing the physical assets of organizations of all sizes especially organizations producing goods and services with physical assets. It introduces methods and procedures for all the levels and functions of the organizations’ management such as corporate planning management, plant management, technical management, production management, financial management, asset management, maintenance management, quality management, etc. The focus of the document is at the asset portfolio and system levels and consists of guidance and recommendations. It does not apply to certification, regulatory, or contractual use.

This European Standard is applicable to all organizations (company, institution, agency, etc.) in charge of maintaining physical assets. Therefore, it has been established without a particular organization in mind and does not aim to propose one. This description could be adapted based on the type and size of organization chosen to perform the maintenance, the complexity of the systems maintained and the scope of the external contracted services.
The purpose of the breakdown into processes and the representation of their inter-relationships  is to help maintenance personnel, and particularly management at different levels, to:
-   clearly identify the actions to be taken in order to meet the overall objectives set by Management in terms of maintenance;
-   delegate responsibilities that ensure the realization of the actions with the required performance levels;
-   for each process, clearly determine:
a)   the necessary inputs and their origin;
b)   the required results and their intended uses;
-   monitor and quantitatively assess the performance obtained at various levels of the breakdown into processes;
-   improve the collection and the distribution of data.
This standard does not cover software maintenance itself, but applies to items containing software.
