Maintenance functions:
a . I n s p e c t : T o determine the serviceability of an item by comparing
its physical, mechanical and/or electrical characteristics with established
s t a n d a r d s through examination.
b. T e s t : T o v e r i f y s e r v i c e a b i l i t y a n d d e t e c t i n c i p i e n t f a i l u r e s b y
measuring mechanical or electrical characteristics of an item and
c o m p a r i n g those characteristics with prescribed standards.
c . S e r v i c e : O p e r a t i o n s required periodically to keep a n item in
p r o p e r o p e r a t i n g c o n d i t i o n , i . e . , t o c l e a n ( d e c o n t a m i n a t e ) , to preserve,

f . C a l i b r a t e : To determine and cause corrections to be made or to
be adjusted on instruments or test measuring and diagnostic equipment used
in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instruments, one
o f which is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust
any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument being compared.
g. I n s t a l l : The act of emplacing, s e a t i n g
or fixing into position
an item, part, or module (component or assembly)
in a manner to allow the
