Diagnostics are generally used to improve reliability and reduce cost by:
- Implement Commissioning Tests so that defective equipment or installation can be identified and repaired as soon as possible
- Conduct Asset Health assessments to guide O&M or Replacement activities
Diagnostic Activities are supported in the standards arena by a series of documents:
- IEEE 400.0
- IEEE 400.2
- IEEE 400.3
- IEEE 400.6
