1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This guide is intended to assist facility maintenance operations in the review
of existing and in developing new PMT guidelines to be performed following
maintenance, which proves that the structures, systems or components (SSC) are
operable as designed and confirms the following: (1) the original deficiency has
been corrected, (2) no new deficiencies have been created, and (3) the equipment
is ready to return to service. A PMT should be performed after all corrective
maintenance and after some preventive maintenance activities. The test
performed should be commensurate with the maintenance work performed and
the importance of the SSC to facility safety and reliability. In some cases, this
may only require checkout and verification, other cases may require a
Documented PMT. It is expected that each DOE facility may use different
approaches or methods than those defined in this guide. The specific guidelines
that follow reflect generally accepted industry practices. Therefore, deviation
from any particular guideline would not, in itself, indicate a problem. If
substantive differences exist between the intent of the Guideline and actual
practice, management should evaluate current practice to determine the need to
include/exclude proposed features. A change to maintenance practice would be
appropriate if a performance weakness was determined to exist. Development,
documentation, and implementation of other features which further enhance
these guidelines for specific applications, is encouraged.
Additional information pertinent to the implementation of this guideline may
be found in DOE-STD-1068-93 "Guide to Good Practices for Maintenance History
at DOE Nuclear Facilities."
Appendix D is provided for use by facility trainers who provide training
regarding this element.
1.2 Background
The information in this guide was developed from commercial and DOE
sources. Each facility should select those details that are applicable, add any
unlisted knowledge or experience that are applicable, and develop and implement
facility-specific PMT guidelines. Facilities that have existing documented PMT
should review this guide to identify details that may enhance their existing
guidelines.
DOE-STD-1065-94
1.3 Application
The content of this guide is generally applicable to all DOE nuclear facilities.
Portions of the guidelines outlined may not be applicable to all facilities because
maintenance organizations, disciplines, titles, and responsibilities may vary among
DOE nuclear facilities. Facility maintenance personnel should verify the
adequacy of or improve existing PMT guidelines by adapting this guide to their
specific facility and individual maintenance disciplines.

2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 Acronyms used in this guide. The acronyms used in this guide are defined as
follows:
a. ASME - American Society of Mechanical Engineers
b. EQ - Environmental Qualification
c. MJR - Maintenance Job Request
d. PMT - Postmaintenance Test
e. SSC - Structures, Systems, and Components
2.2 Checkout and Verification. A form of PMT using standard maintenance
practices, as well as craft skills and knowledge, to prove that equipment is
operable as designed. The testing does not require the formal documentation
specified for Documented PMT.
2.3 Corrective Maintenance. The repair of failed or malfunctioning equipment,
system, or facility to restore the intended function or design condition. This
maintenance does not result in a significant extension of the expected useful
life.
2.4 Deficiency. An item that does not meet specified standards and requires
corrective action.
2.5 Deficiency Identification Tag. A two-part form that includes a string for ease
of attachment and may be used to identify a facility material deficiency. The
tag should be marked with a serialized number that is used for administrative
control and for deficiency location by maintenance personnel. The hard copy
of the tag should be placed on or near the deficiency in the facility. The
duplicate or carbon of the tag serves as a temporary record of the deficiency
until the data is transferred to a maintenance job request.
2.6 Deficiency Identification Sticker. A small, adhesive-backed form which may
be used primarily to identify deficiencies in those situations that preclude the
use of a Deficiency Identification Tag. The sticker should also be marked
with a serialized number. A duplicate should not be required since most
stickers are used in control rooms where the deficiency information may easily
be directly placed on a maintenance job request.
3
DOE-STD-1065-94
2.7 Documented PMT. Rigorous. formal documentation of postmaintenance
testing required, when specified by the equipment owner.
2.8 Maintenance. Day-to-day work that is required to maintain and preserve
plant and capital equipment in a condition suitable for its designated purpose
and includes preventive, predictive, and corrective (repair) maintenance.
2.9 Maintenance Job Request (MJR). Means of obtaining maintenance services,
available on both paper and electronic mediums and initiated by maintenance
customers. An MJR is normally issued to Maintenance Planners and
Estimators and is used to define, plan, and execute maintenance activities. It
serves as documentation of a deficient equipment condition and requires
detailed documentation of work performed, spare parts, procedures, or testing
to verify that maintenance was performed correctly. The MJR may also serve
as documentation for completion of minor maintenance activities such as
lubrication, light-bulb replacement etc. ("MJR" is the equivalent of a "Work
Request")
2.10 Maintenance Procedure. A document providing direction to implement
policy, comply with external directives, or meet operational objectives in a
consistent manner. A procedure provides necessary delineation of roles,
responsibilities, action steps, and requirements.
2.11 Outage. Condition existing whenever production has stopped or mission
capability is lost due to planned or unplanned occurrences.
Section 5
2.12 Periodic Maintenance. Maintenance activities accomplished on a routine basis
(typically based on operating , hours or calendar time). Periodic Maintenance
includes inspections, lubrications, and technical safety specifications
surveillance (functioning testing, bearing temperature, pump speeds, etc.).
2.13 Planned Maintenance. Preventive maintenance activities performed prior to
structure, system, or component failure and may be initiated by predictive or
periodic maintenance results, by vendor recommendations, or by
experience/lessons learned. These include items such as scheduled valve
repacking, replacement of bearings as indicated from vibration analysis, major
or minor overhauls based on experience factors or vendor recommendations
and replacement of known life-span components. For example, repacking a
valve due to packing leakage would be corrective maintenance, but scheduled
repacking prior to leakage would be planned maintenance.
4
DOE-STD-1065-94
2.14 Postmaintenance Test (PMT). Documented postmaintenance testing or
standard checkout and verification, performed following maintenance, which
proves that the equipment is operable as designed and confirms the following:
• The original deficiency has been corrected.
• No new deficiencies have been created.
• The equipment is ready to return to service.
2.15 Predictive Maintenance. Actions necessary to monitor, find trends, and
analyze the parameters, performance characteristics, properties, and
signatures associated with equipment, systems, or facilities that are indicative
of decreasing performance or impending failure.
2.16 Preventive Maintenance. All those systematically planned and scheduled
actions performed for the purpose of preventing equipment, system, or facility
failure.
2.17 Root Cause. A determination based on analytical techniques that determines
the fundamental cause of failure.
2.18 Structures, Systems and Components (SSC). Physical items designed, built,
and/or installed to support the operation of a facility.
2.19 Surveillance Test. A functional test of installed SSC for periodic monitoring
of performance adequacy.
2.20 Technical Support. The engineering, design, specialized inspections, planning,
or other such support of capital asset maintenance and repair.
2.21 Troubleshooting. The process of locating and identifying SSC malfunctions
through deductive and inductive reasoning and/or testing. The process may
include (but is not limited to) activities such as taking readings, pulling fuses,
stroking valves, changing electronic modules, partial or complete disassembly
of a component, etc.

3. POSTMAINTENANCE TESTING
3.1 DISCUSSION
3.1.1 The applicable equipment/facility owner/operator has overall accountability for
defining PMT, establishing acceptance criteria, and verification that
acceptance requirements are satisfied prior to returning an item to normal
service. Documented PMT is required when specified by the SSC
owner/operator. Checkout and Verification should be performed by the
maintenance craftsperson whenever a Documented PMT is not required.
The objective of PMT is to verify that SSC are capable of performing their
intended function when returned to service following maintenance and to
ensure that the original deficiency is corrected. PMT requires close
coordination among various facility groups and contract personnel. PMT
integrates with the work control system and the Health and Safety permit
system. An effective PMT may be directly related to facility reliability. This
guide does not specifically address the postmodification testing process;
however, most of the methods described may be directly used for
postmodification testing as well.
Section 6
PMT involves the following key elements:
• Responsibilities of each group are clearly defined.
• Scope of equipment tested includes all facility equipment.
• Specifying appropriate tests includes inputs from maintenance,
owner/operator, and technical support groups.
• Guidance is available to planners for identifying appropriate tests.
• Testing is conducted with owner/operator's authorization, uses
approved procedures or instructions, and is performed and reviewed by
qualified personnel.
• Tests are conducted under the appropriate system operating parameters.
• A form is used to authorize, document, and review the results of PMT.
• Posttest system restoration is formally controlled (restoring system to
normal and/or standby modes following completion of PMT).
This guide is intended to assist in the development of PMT activities.

DOE-STD-1065-94
3.4 POSTMAINTENANCE TESTING
3.4.1 Guidelines
3.4.1.1 A satisfactory test is one that verifies; the ability of a particular
SSC to perform its intended function, the original deficiency has
been corrected, and no new or related problems have been
created by the maintenance activity. All MJRs should be
reviewed to determine the need for Documented PMT.
3.4.1.2 PMT should be performed following all corrective maintenance
activities. In addition, testing should be done following
preventive maintenance and troubleshooting activities that might
have affected normal functioning of the SSC. Tests should
usually be conducted under conditions that represent normal
operating parameters, such as flow, differential pressure,
temperature, input signal values, and fluid type.
3.4.1.3 Tests should be conducted in accordance with written
instructions or formal procedures, as appropriate. The
instruction/procedures should measure performance versus
criteria on key parameters and allow for documentation and
review of test data for the SSC. An example PMT Control
form and PMT Test Data Sheet are shown in Appendices A
and B respectively. The results should be documented and filed
with the MJR or cross-referenced by the MJR to the applicable
document.
3.4.1.4 The following are some examples of types of maintenance
activities where PMT may be of value:
• maintenance that affects the integrity or operation of a
fluid or gas system, or components within those systems
• maintenance that affects the wall thickness of pressure
boundaries or affects mechanical strength of components
or fittings
• maintenance that affects electrical distribution equipment,
such as breakers, bus work, or high-voltage connections
9
DOE-STD-1065-94
• maintenance that affects electrical control circuitry or
electronic components, such as protection relays, limit
switches, permissive relays, controllers, circuit cards or
transmitters
• maintenance that affects instrument detectors or
components in an instrument loop
• equipment that is included in special programs such as
the in-service inspection and environmental qualification
programs
• maintenance that affects or removes design-approved
radiation shielding
• health physics and chemistry instrumentation
• measuring and test equipment
• maintenance that affects the engineered function of a
SSC
• maintenance of a Safety Class Item
• temporary systems that have been installed as substitutes
for normally operational systems or portions of systems
3.4.1.5 The following activities are representative of common PMT:
• visual or dimensional inspections and nondestructive tests
specified by code
• voltage, current, integrity or continuity checks
• operational exercise of the component (including
vibration, pressure, flow, temperature, distance of travel,
and other measurements where applicable)
• calibration or alignment of a component or instrument
loop
• leak rate testing

closure and response times, strokes

Section 8
3.4.1.6 Combinations of the elements listed above may be specified as
appropriate to provide complete PMT. Examples of
maintenance performed and associated PMT are given in
Appendix C. The examples are provided as guidance only. The
actual required testing should be tailored to the specific
maintenance performed.
3.4.2 Control of Postmaintenance Testing
Control and documentation of PMT activities are a part of the facility's work
control and equipment status control systems.
3.4.2.1 During the initial processing of an MJR, the maintenance
planner should include predefined PMT in job instructions
based on consultation with the owner/operator.
3.4.2.2 Appendix A, PMT Control Form, should be filled out by the
planner and attached to the MJR, as appropriate.
3.4.2.3 When a maintenance activity involves several different tests, a
separate PMT Control Form may be used to document each
test.
3.4.2.4 The maintenance planner should obtain assistance from the
owner/operator, technical support, the responsible system
engineer, or other groups as needed to ensure that all testing
requirements and acceptance criteria are specified.
3.4.2.5 The maintenance supervisor responsible for the work should
review the MJR prior to beginning work, including the PMT
Control Form. During this review, the supervisor is responsible
for understanding the specified testing for the intended work
and providing feedback for inadequacies.
3.4.2.6 The owner/operator should approve the MJR prior to the start
of maintenance work.
DOE-STD-1065-94
3.4.2.7 PMT should be performed according to approved instructions
provided in the planning and authorization process. If the scope
of work expands beyond the original MJR, work should be
stopped and the MJR should be returned to planning along with
any PMT Control Forms for further direction.
3.4.2.8 If more than one group is involved in testing, the
owner/operator should coordinate the performance of the PMT.
3.4.2.9 Following maintenance, permission to begin any testing should
be approved by the owner/operator by signing the PMT Control
Form.
3.4.2.10 At the completion of PMT, acceptability of the equipment based
on satisfactory completion of all PMT should be approved by
the owner/operator, by reviewing attached test results and
signing the PMT Control Form. Final determination of
operability should be made by the owner/operator.
3.4.2.11 Restoring SSC to a correct setpoint for operating or standby
mode following testing are the responsibility of the
owner/operator. This may be accomplished by instructions in
the test procedure, by conducting specific system lineups, or by
other formal methods.
3.4.2.12 For troubleshooting MJRS, the test requirements normally
cannot be determined until the troubleshooting is complete. A
record should be kept of work performed during troubleshooting
to ensure that PMT covers the troubleshooting scope. The
supervisor responsible for the troubleshooting should generate a
new MJR for necessary work. Testing requirements should then
be identified through the normal planning and review process.
3.4.2.13 If the test cannot be completed immediately after maintenance
is performed, the MJR should be held as an open MJR until
such time as testing may be completed. MJRs awaiting testing
should be tracked in a central file for follow-up to closure.
As facility conditions allow, testing may be performed and the
MJRs may be closed out. Examples of delayed testing would
include steam system valves or flanges repaired during unit
outage periods that cannot be tested until normal operating
facility conditions exist.
Section 9
12
DOE-STD-1065-94
3.4.2.14 If the test is unsatisfactory, deficiencies identified during testing
should be documented and corrected by generating an MJR.
3.4.2.15 When the stop work conditions are corrected re-test
requirements should be evaluated to determine if prior testing
should be repeated.
3.4.2.16 If a test is unsatisfactory, the SSC should be tagged to indicate
that a deficiency still exists. The owner/operator may tag the
component out of service; declare it inoperable; or, depending
on the test results and significance of the existing deficiency,
return it to service with the documented deficiency.
3.4.3 Use of Procedures for Postmaintenance Testing
The various classifications of equipment required to ensure safe and reliable
facility operation should require different levels of instruction/procedural
support for PMT activities. Available sources of PMT instruction/procedures
should include (but are not limited to) engineering test procedures,
surveillance test procedures, maintenance procedures, calibration procedures,
and activity-specific generated instructions.
3.4.3.1 If an applicable surveillance test procedure exists, then that
procedure may be used to verify operability of the equipment.
A surveillance test may be used for PMT if it not only proves
system operability, but it should also verify operability of all
components and features either directly or potentially affected
by the maintenance activity, verify that maintenance was
performed properly, and ensure that the initial deficiency was
corrected.
3.4.3.2 If only applicable sections of a procedure are used, caution
should be used to ensure that previous sections are reviewed for
system status, lineups, or prerequisites. Applicable sections with
supplemental precautions or prerequisites should be specifically
referenced on the modification request or supplemental
document.
13
DOE-STD-1065-94
3.4.3.3 If a surveillance test, calibration, or special procedure does not
exist to test particular equipment following maintenance, a
special test procedure may be written, or the test may be
performed in accordance with instructions written for the MJR.
With any of these procedure methods, the required and actual
testing performed should be described, data recorded,
acceptance criteria specified, and appropriate reviews and
approvals performed and documented. If special test
procedures are written to perform PMT, the appropriate safety
and technical reviews should be performed in accordance with
facility procedures.
3.4.3.4 Test instructions should include details such as initial conditions
and prerequisites, hold points, cautions, personnel qualification
requirements, personnel safety requirements, clear acceptance
criteria, and posttest restoration.
Test instructions should be as specific as possible and should
avoid using vague criteria such as "verify proper operation" or
"check for excessive temperature."
Test equipment should be specified and provision made for
recording the equipment identification and calibration due date.

LESSON PLAN
1. The instructor should be familiar with the following background information:
a. Postmaintenance testing is normally performed by maintenance
personnel to verify that they are returning the SSC back to the
customer in its design condition. This type of testing is in contrast with
operability testing, which is normally performed by owner/operators
and/or fabrications personnel to verify that the maintained SSC now
operates in the overall configuration as designed. PMT should include
the following:
identification of all facility SSC requiring PMT,
testing requirements that are commensurate with the extent/type
of maintenance performed,
methods to track equipment that has had completed
maintenance, but is waiting on PMT, and
a system to properly coordinate, document the results, and verify
the acceptance criteria of the test.
2. To teach this lesson, the following training housekeeping items are required:
a. Location for the training,
b. Approximately 30 minute time period for the training,
c. Notification of selected employees, and
d. A copy of the site's PMT guidelines.
3. This lesson has the following trainee enabling objectives:
a. Outline a PMT guide.
b. Give an example of a PMT.
DOE-STD-1065-94
Appendix D
POSTMAINTENANCE TESTING
SAMPLE LESSON PLAN
D - 3
4. PMT is normally performed by maintenance personnel to verify that they are
returning the SSC back to the customer in its design condition. The following are
components of PMT:
a. A controlled documentation of types of tests, approved by the
owner/operator, should be provided to the planning organization to
identify the PMT that apply to each activity. These tests should be
specified by the planner on each associated MJR. This documentation
(list of tests) should be updated as new maintenance repair
configurations are encountered.
Section 15
b. The level of testing performed should be based on the work
accomplished and the importance of the component to safe and
reliable site operation. Types of SSC requiring PMT include the
following:
maintenance that effects integrity or operation of a liquid or gas
system,
maintenance that effects the mechanical strength or components
or fittings,
maintenance that effects or removes design related radiation
shielding,
electrical distribution equipment such as breakers, bus work, or
high voltage connections,
electrical control circuitry such as protection relays, limit
switches, or permissive relays,
electronic components such as controllers, circuit cards, and
transmitters,
instrumentation, and measuring and test equipment, and
temporary systems that have been installed as substitutes for
normal operating systems.
DOE-STD-1065-94
Appendix D

SAMPLE LESSON PLAN
D - 4
c. Some examples of PMT include the following:
hydrostatic or pressure tests with visual inspection for leaks,
visual inspection for loose fasteners and mechanical
misalignments,
valve stroke time, operations of interlocks, comparison against
other similar components, and measurements of vibration, flow,
pressure, and temperature,
calibration or alignment of an instrument,
continuity, voltage, or current test, and
SSC inspection for cleanliness.
d. The deficiencies identified during PMT should be documented and
corrected on the original MJR, or on a new MJR before the original
MJR is accepted is completed by the customer. The original MJR
should reference any new MJR or documents written to resolve these
deficiencies.
5. Discuss with the trainees the site's PMT guide or the framework of generating
one if it does not exist at that facility.
