Use only authentic or approved parts when replacing worn or damaged critical components, or use parts reconditioned, either to the manufacturer’s specifications or to the approval of an appropriate surveyor.

Use of genuine parts or reconditioned parts to a satisfactory standard is addressed in the critical parts exercise currently being undertaken by an independent expert. The outcome of this assessment will be added to the Safe Operating Plan when finalised. In the meantime all SJL maintenance staff have been instructed to use only certified parts or where certification is not available, the manufacturer supplied spare or the best available where manufacturers’ parts are not accessible. In addition, no modifications take place to any component without manufacturer or qualified professional engineer sign off.
