The following main topics were discussed during the workshop:
1. Maintenance-related events:
2. Licensee arrangements (including good practices) for planning, implementing and managing maintenance:
3. Development and implementation of guidance documents to improve maintenance programmes:
4. Regulatory requirements, concerns and approaches:
5. Recent trends and their impact on management of maintenance:
The workshop comprised a series of sessions commencing with one or more short presented papers (~ 20 minutes) followed by break-out and plenary discussions on the issues which arise. One session on regulatory expectations included short (10-15 minutes) presentations from different countries' regulatory bodies followed by discussion comparing these approaches.
