CWA 18038:2023

This document defines a methodology that enables a new paradigm for the maintenance of large industrial equipment -specifically in the manufacturing sector- that approaches the end of its design life. The methodology is based on a systematic assessment of strategies comprised of one or more technical solutions (hardware, software, training, or a mix of those) related to the re-manufacturing or refurbishment of the equipment. The target group of the CWA are industrial equipment maintenance practitioners concerned with re-manufacturing or refurbishment, public authorities concerned with circular economy models for large industrial equipment, as well as research and development departments in industry and research.
