D.1 OXYGEN GENERATOR DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL
GUIDELINE
Introduction:
Oxygen generator must be assessed for its redundancy and thereby managed
according to the owner’s existing policies for proper decommissioning and disposal.
In situations where policies are not well dened, this guideline may be used to
decommission and dispose the oxygen generator.
This guideline describes typical process to ensure effective decommissioning and
disposal of the oxygen generator.
Denitions:
Decommission - Process of removing oxygen generator from service.
Reuse – Using the oxygen generator at a different location after decommissioning
it from its current location.
Scrapping – Disposing the oxygen generator following all local governing ordinances
and recycling plans.
Procedure:
1. Identify the status of the redundant oxygen generator, i.e.
■ Fully Functional
■ Partially Functional/Repairable
■ Damaged/Non-repairable
2. Decommission
Decommissioning of the oxygen generator shall be performed in
accordance to the owner’s quality assurance procedures. A typical
decommissioning includes the following:
■ Updating the equipment database
■ Removal of maintenance contracts and/or service schedules
■ If the oxygen generator is fully functional or can be repaired for
reuse, an assessment should be done for the current value. An
assessment report on type and cost of repairs (if required) should
also be prepared. Also, probable future owners should be identified
and advised of the availability of the device
