easily identified without excessive handling or unnecessary opening of crates
and boxes.
E. Coverings. Weatherproof coverings, when used for outdoor storage, shall be the
flame-resistant type of sheeting or tarpaulins. They shall be placed so as to
provide drainage and to ensure air circulation to minimize condensation. They
shall be tied down to prevent moisture from entering and to protect the coverings
from wind damage.
F. Outdoor Storage. Items stored outdoors shall be positioned or covered to avoid
trapping moisture in pockets or internally. For example, valves shall be
positioned such that water does not collect under the bonnet but can drain from
the valve packing area.
1.6.5.4 Control of Items in Storage
A. Inspections
Inspections shall be performed and documented on a periodic basis to ensure
that the integrity of the item and its container, as provided for under Sections
1.6.3 and 1.6.5, is being maintained. Deficiencies noted shall be corrected and
documented. The characteristics verified during this inspection shall include such
items as:
1. Identification and marking
2. Protective covers and seals
3. Coatings and preservatives
4. Desiccants and inert gas blankets
5. Physical damage
6. Cleanness
B. Care of Items
Requirements for proper maintenance during storage shall be documented in
storage records described by VENDOR’s PSSH plan. Care of items in storage
(includes storage in place) shall be exercised in accordance with the following:
1. Items in storage shall have all covers, caps, plugs, or other closures
intact. Methods used to seal openings shall be in accordance with
Section 1.6.3.9. Covers removed for internal access shall be

specified limits during storage. Desiccant humidity indicators shall
also be monitored, and desiccants shall be changed or reprocessed
when specified.
4. Instrumentation racks shall be energized as specified by the
manufacturer.
5. Space heaters enclosed in electrical items shall be energized.
6. Rotating electrical equipment shall be given insulation resistance
tests on a scheduled basis.

not come to rest in a previous position (90 deg. and 450 deg.
rotations are examples).
8. Other maintenance requirements specified by the manufacturer's
instructions for the item shall be performed.
C. Post-Fire Evaluation
In the event that a fire should occur in the storage area at any time, each item
known to have been heated to an ambient temperature of over 150°F (65°C) or
subjected to smoke contamination shall be withheld from installation or use until
it has been thoroughly examined, and the item has been verified to be in
conformance with specified requirements.

Written records shall be prepared that include such pertinent information as storage
location, results of inspections, results of in-storage maintenance to include the
results of configuration control activities for the item while in storage, protection
requirements, changes in item ownership including (if applicable) certificates of
conformance, and personnel authorized access to the storage location(s).
1.6.5.7 Refer to equipment specific specifications for long term storage requirements (if
applicable).
1.6.5.8 VENDOR shall specify any additional environmental storage requirements (e.g.
temperature range, humidity, range, protection from precipitation) and required
maintenance during storage (e.g. pump/rotor rotation schedule).
