Repair Delay Reasons

On the Repair Delay Reason form, review the list of reasons for placing a component on repair delay that was shipped with the Essential software. Regulations require repair of a leaking component within a certain period of time, typically 15 days. If the leak cannot be repaired within that time frame, you may be able to put the component on repair delay. It is important that there is a valid reason recognized by agencies. For example, repairing a leaking component may be technically infeasible without a process shutdown.  

Existing reasons can be edited and new reasons added. For each repair delay reason, equivalent entries in different languages can be defined. For example, an "Excessive Emissions" reason in Spanish, "Emisiones excesivas", could be specified. When localization has been implemented, the Culture setting assigned to a user determines which value is displayed in field lists on Essential forms. Enter the corresponding repair delay reasons and associate each one with the appropriate language in the Language Dependent Repair Delay Reasons section.

Use the Monitoring Data form to assign the appropriate repair delay reason to a component. Documenting the reason why a leak was not repaired within the regulatory time frame is important for the FEMS module standard reports.
