- Establish clear evidence and acceptance requirements covering asset information, maintenance requirements, training, spares, operating documentation, warranties, defects and outstanding works.
- Support commissioning and completion activities from an asset owner and operational readiness perspective, ensuring issues that could affect safe operation, maintainability or lifecycle performance are identified prior to acceptance.
