Purpose

This document is the overarching document for the set of documents that govern how the examinations of Buildings and Civils Assets should be managed and carried out.

This document guides the user to the applicable part of the standard depending on asset type and activity.

Failure to implement and manage examination regime for Buildings and Civils assets could result in potential functional failures going undetected by the asset management teams. This may result in accidents and/or disruptions to the operation of the railway network.
