Pertains to most types of building-related facilities, for example, those for health care, education, housing, manufacturing and distribution, commerce, retailing, utilities, communication and transportation.

This British Standard gives guidance on the maintenance management of facilities by: outlining a process approach to maintenance management at the strategic and tactical levels, with links to operational activities; assisting organizations and individuals to formulate strategy and policies for maintenance management; assisting those responsible for ensuring that facility assets continue to perform as intended, retaining their asset value at minimum cost; highlighting the importance of regular and planned maintenance as a value adding activity; highlighting relevant areas of importance with regard to occupational health and safety and information management. NOTE It might be necessary and economically desirable to carry out maintenance at the same time as improvements, additions or alterations. This British Standard applies to most types of building-related facilities, for example, those for health care, education, housing, manufacturing and distribution, commerce, retailing, utilities, communication and transportation. This British Standard does not give guidance on: the procurement of services for maintenance (see BS8572); how to carry out different types of maintenance; any improvements, additions or alterations to a facility that would make it suitable for a purpose other than that for which it was designed; cleaning facilities (see BS6270‑3); maintenance of engineering infrastructure.
