How to use this guide
Define the operational question and the decision the information must support.
Collect measured site and fleet data rather than relying only on nominal values.
Cross-check linked equipment, energy, safety and lifecycle-cost consequences.
Record assumptions, sources, responsible owners and review dates.
Verification boundary
This guide supports pre-assessment. It does not replace a risk assessment, statutory inspection, manufacturer approval, site-specific engineering or the work of a competent person. Apply the current rules in the country of use.
