SCOPEASSURANCE / EVIDENCEICS / TA-08

The work

Independent system audits and technical assurance.

A defect report should explain what was found, what evidence supports the finding and what work is required.

ICS provides that review without linking the findings to an equipment sale or maintenance contract.

Approach

From the reported fault to a tested conclusion.

The exact test plan depends on the system, its condition and the effect of taking equipment out of service. These are the usual stages for this type of work.

01

Agree the questions

Define the concern, evidence required, system boundaries and applicable project information.

02

Inspect and verify

Compare installation condition, records and witnessed operation with the intended outcome.

03

Set out the technical position

Separate confirmed findings from assumptions and prioritise the work still required.

What ICS can investigate

Check the complete operating sequence.

  • +Installation condition and workmanship
  • +Test evidence and commissioning records
  • +System strategy and interfaces
  • +Defect significance and dependencies
