2.5 Putting WAVE into service
Before entering service your new WAVE should be visually inspected to ensure that it is fit
for use, and the certification reviewed to ensure that it is valid.
On entry into service, the date should be stamped onto the Data Marking Plate (Figure 1).
This will record the start of the WAVE’s Inspection & Maintenance schedule (Section 4.5).
Figure 1 Data Marking Plate
Equipment can be considered in service when it is exposed to conditions that may cause
deteriation i.e. when the unit is placed into an offshore or operating environment.
2.6 Equipment held in stock
