Preventive Equipment Maintenance

  • To anticipate breakdowns before they occur, ensuring continuous operation of the equipment and maximising its useful life through planned reviews.
  • Scheduled, non-reactive periodic reviews of the laboratory’s equipment: cleaning, adjustments, replacement of components with predictable wear, verification of critical parameters and overall condition checks, following the manufacturer’s recommendations. This also includes planning a minimum spare-parts stock to reduce downtime if an incident arises.
  • Fewer unexpected breakdowns and less production or testing downtime.
  • Extended equipment lifespan, delaying the need for replacement investment.
  • A more predictable, controlled maintenance budget throughout the year.
  • Improved analytical performance by keeping equipment in consistently optimal condition.
  • Lower costs from urgent repairs, which are generally more expensive than scheduled maintenance.
