Repairs use manufacturer service kits and finish with a full retest, so the repaired device goes straight back onto your compliance record.
What the reported symptom tells us
a device passing, weeping or failing its annual test. Record when this occurs, what changed beforehand and whether other equipment is affected. These observations narrow the investigation; they do not prove which part has failed.
Define the repair and the return-to-service check
