3.5 ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

The EPM program should include the essential elements described in NFPA 70B, Chapter 3, "What

is an Effective EPM Program." This includes planning, identifying the main parts, and utilizing

available support services for a program. For example:

1. Assigning qualified personnel

2. Surveying and analyzing equipment maintenance requirements

3. Performing routine inspections and tests

4. Analyzing inspection and test reports

5. Prescribing corrective measures

6. Performing necessary work

7. Preparing appropriate records.

3.6 PLANNING AND DEVELOPING AN EPM PROGRAM, AND

FUNDAMENTALS OF EPM

The EPM program should be planned and developed to include each of the functions, requirements,

and economic considerations described in NFPA 70B, Chapter 4, "Planning and Developing an EPM

Program," and NFPA 70B, Chapter 5, "Fundamentals of EPM." Chapter 4 includes surveying the

existing electrical system installation, identifying crucial equipment, establishing a systematic
