• How each device is maintained and repaired, and by whom
• Arrangements for planned maintenance and repair
• Arrangements for the most suitable persons/providers to carry out the work
• Arrangements to ensure items subject to inspection, maintenance, repair or disposal are decontaminated beforehand
• The timescale for planned maintenance
