Management of Change and Asset Integrity

What this topic covers

Why modifications, service changes and temporary repairs need updated integrity information.

Core ideas

A change can invalidate assumptions about material, corrosion mechanism, loads or inspection coverage.

Asset data and monitoring limits should be updated when equipment or service changes.

Temporary modifications should remain visible until formally removed or incorporated.

Program tradeoffs

Overdue findings and inspections should be evaluated by significance and governed escalation rather than hidden in averages.

What good evidence looks like

Assurance verifies traceability from risk and inspection through decision, work execution and closure.

Lifecycle perspective

Competence, change management and data governance are core parts of technical integrity.
