The PAS outlines the activities and capabilities necessary to maximize value for all stakeholders over a major asset’s lifecycle.

It gives guidance on a common framework for through-life engineering services (TES). It includes planning for the full lifecycle of a major asset in order to meet the customer requirements. This PAS addresses TES for a major asset across the full supply, operate and support chain (whole-life from concept to disposal) and across the system (end-to-end from customers or service users through tier one suppliers to SMEs, considering products and services offered).

The framework is designed to enable collaboration through a common vocabulary across the system to deliver the customer requirements of major assets.

This PAS is for use by both providers and users of major assets, with particular emphasis on thought-leaders who might influence UK national prosperity.

NOTE 1 This PAS may be read in conjunction with BS ISO 55000:2014 and other relevant standards which provide guidance on the business case and lifecycle management of long-life major assets at the level of the business unit. PAS 280 is intended to consider the integration of the business case and business and engineering operations at the level of the enterprise or consortium to the benefit of all participants.

NOTE 2 This PAS encourages collaboration between multiple organizations with a mutual interest in TES. It is assumed that each organization respects the intellectual property rights of others, and that each enters into appropriate agreements where data, information or knowledge needs to be exchanged.
