Purpose

The purpose of this Standard is to define the requirements for the annual reporting and certification of the condition of engineering Assets owned by London Underground (LU).

The Asset Condition Reports and Asset Safety & Management Certificates together:

• Provide assurance to the LU Executive and other stakeholders that the Assets are of known condition and are fit for purpose;
• Allow Asset condition trends to be monitored;
• Identify residual safety and performance risks and their associated mitigations and controls;
• Inform the Asset investment planning process.
