Suggested Learning Activities:

Objectives

12.1-12.3

Discuss with the maintenance manager, engineering manager, or an

experienced STA when testing is required and how to determine

appropriate testing. This discussion should focus on the principles for

determining what test is needed and understanding the intent of the test

[i.e., testing that will verify proper operational performance of the

equipment and system(s) worked on and isolated during the work].

Discuss the adequacy of facility conditions for safe test performance and

evaluating test results. Focus on the responsibility and authority of the

STA, the basis for this authority, and associated responsibilities as seen

by facility and design engineering managers. Also, apply these testing

principles to a discussion of postmaintenance testing and, as

appropriate, postmodification testing.

12.2-12.4

Use a case-study approach to postmodification and postmaintenance

testing including determining appropriate testing, considerations for

authorizing performance, who should be consulted if advice is desired

and evaluate the test results for follow-up action as necessary.

Operating experience listed in occurrence reports can support this

activity.
