Any damage not in compliance with the acceptance criterion should be repaired if possible. In the case of fatigue cumulative usage factor (CUF) > 1.0, appropriate fatigue monitoring and a focused in-service inspection programme can be implemented.

The administrative and organization arrangements have to be defined for the performance of ageing management programmes. Appropriate plant procedures have to ensure the planning, staffing, performing, documenting and management control of the AMPs. Proper systems for documentation and reporting have to be established. A proper quality assurance plan also has to be developed for AMPs.
