Importance of Recording Proof Test Results
Recording results from proof test procedures is of
utmost importance:
•
Allows evaluation of the failure modes being
experienced on your plant;
•
Allows failure rate analysis in order to
determine if the assumptions made in design
are correct;
•
Allow demonstration that the proof tests are
being completed for internal and external audits.
