Integrity objective
Define the defect mechanism, inspection purpose and decision the evidence must support.
VERIFIED DETAIL REQUIRED

Engineering methods
Connect surface access, inspection, engineering disposition, repair and return-to-service within one controlled integrity pathway.
Technical context
Preparation is valuable only when it enables a defined integrity decision. PICSA scopes the work around the inspection technique, acceptance authority, repair interface and evidence required after completion.
NDT selection and engineering disposition remain with appropriately qualified and authorised parties. PICSA’s boundary, specialist interfaces and records must be explicit before work starts.
Engineering principles
These principles provide a structured basis for early qualification. Final requirements remain subject to the asset, location, client procedures and verified delivery capability.
