Basic service, extended work and service-free units
A routine basic service and work involving discharge, recharge or overhaul need different preparation and pricing. Service-free units also have manufacturer inspection instructions. Use the label and history to establish the work before comparing appointment totals.
Check my situationPut the service stage on the inventory
For each unit record make, type, size, location, dates and condition. Ask the provider to identify the service stage and evidence its basis. Do not apply a traditional basic-service fee automatically to a product with a different manufacturer programme.
- Collect manufacturer, model and previous service-stage details.
- Identify units needing discharge, refill, overhaul or replacement review.
- Check service-free inspection instructions and staff training.
What to do next: Request a unit-by-unit proposal with maintenance work and exclusions stated. For P50 or another special product, confirm the exact manufacturer instructions and competent inspection arrangements before ordering an annual contractor visit.
Basic service
The planning example covers a routine appointment for known traditional units. It assumes accessible equipment and excludes refill, overhaul, replacement, disposal and a new selection or siting survey.
Extended service
Ask the technician to explain which units require additional work and why. Compare on-site work, collection, temporary replacement provision, refilling, testing and final records as separate inclusions. Do not perform pressure work yourself.
Service-free inspection
Safelincs describes P50 inspection by appropriately trained staff under its specific programme. Service-free does not mean no checks. Record the actual instructions, training, inspection evidence and action following damage or use.
