maintenance, inspection, and diagnose

Inspection: By ceetb (www.ceetb.org)

The checking or testing, by duly qualified personnel, of an installation against established parameters related to emission limits, the performance and the safety of an installation (checking the actual condition of the installation against the target condition). At the end of the inspection, the user receives a protocol either confirming the compliance of the installations with all test parameters or listing shortcomings.

Maintenance: By ceetb (www.ceetb.org)

The remedying of shortcomings identified by the inspection by duly qualified personnel (re-establishing target condition). In other words, if shortcomings are identified, inspection and maintenance are directly linked and become one activity. Maintenance can also have a preventive character to avoid shortcoming in advance (maintaining target condition).
