Section 50 of 105
48. Replaceability, Repairability and Upgradeability
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-50 · 17 content blocks
Every asset with a service life shorter than the surrounding building platform shall be evaluated for independent replacement, repair, or upgrade.
The design shall address:
- Access to the asset.
- Identification and compatibility confirmation.
- Isolation of loads, energy, fluids, data, and hazards.
- Temporary support.
- Required tools and working clearances.
- Safe release and removal.
- Protection of adjacent assets.
- Reinstallation and reconnection.
- Inspection and recommissioning.
- Restoration of fire, moisture, acoustic, structural, and digital continuity.
- Building BIOS and Digital Twin updates.
Replacement shall not be represented as successful merely because a new asset physically fits. The resulting configuration shall satisfy all applicable performance, safety, Interface, and evidence requirements.
Repairs shall restore verified function rather than conceal symptoms or visible damage.
Upgrades shall not create undeclared dependencies, invalidate compatible legacy assets, consume reserved capacity without authorization, or reduce future replaceability.
Where independent replacement is impractical, the affected replacement group, reason, service-life consequence, and required future intervention shall be declared.
