Organisation specific maintenance
Business-Focused Maintenance (BG 53/2016), written by Jo Harris and published by BSRIA in May 2016, describes four levels of maintenance:
- Discretionary: non-critical maintenance
- Statutory: Compliance maintenance
- Mandatory: Sector or organisation specific maintenance
- Optimal: Function critical maintenance
In relation to sector or organisation specific maintenance, it states: ‘Maintenance becomes mandatory when it is undertaken to meet sector specific regulations or the organisation has deemed it appropriate; usually it represents good practice for that sector. For example: hospitals have Health Technical Memoranda (HTMs) particular to the health care sector that propose more onerous tasks for an environment where there are immunosuppressed patients.’
