condemned provided the cost of the repairs or renewals exceeds 50% of its original
value.
• Or any equipment which consumes more energy and the version is out dated and
hence can not compete with new version will condemned by the purchase
committee after through verification though it has not out lived its life prescribed by
the manufacturer.
• Condemnation Committeedecide’s upon the method of condemnation. The
Maintenance department forwards the repair status of the Machine to the Purchase
committee. This report is studied by the purchase committee and arrives at a
conclusion.
• All records pertaining to condemnation of equipment shall be maintained.

Options of condemnation:
• Scrap: If the equipment is totally Obsolete or irreparable then the equipment is sold
as scrap
• Buy back: Such equipment are replaced by new equipment and returned to the
Vendor in replacement of new equipment at discounted price. The decision for such
an option is completely on discretion of the Purchase committee.
• Sold at discounted price to any taker

retained by the department so as to use its spare parts for future use. However the
machine will be used. Such spares would generally be not available or are expensive
otherwise and are still useful.

8. 7 Quality and Monitoring Systems

• All equipments are checked for proper functioning on a daily basis by user.
• Calibration of the equipment are done as per manufacturer’s guidelines

equipment is large or delay in repairs or missed calibration.
• The personnel using the equipment are educated about the safe and effective
operation and functioning of the equipment at the time of installation and as and
when required.
• The staff is trained to handle and prevent of the hazards. Supplement Guidance and
training are imparted to the concerned department. In case of any incidence
reported such accidents etc are analysed, and appropriate corrective ad preventive
actions are taken.
• Organization safety committee will also study these actions.
