Management of ageing electrical assets
 
 EEMUA Publication 227: provides a coherent, proactive system for managing ageing electrical assets; focuses on types of equipment that lack other guidance or suffer incidents related to ageing; and offers general guidance on managing ageing electrical assets.
Guidance includes: identifying potential failure mechanisms on ageing electrical assets; methods of detecting early signs of failure mechanisms; ways of calculating remaining expected life of assets; maintenance methods to extend asset life; demonstrating benefits of replacing equipment before failures occur.

Alarm systems a guide to design management and procurement
EEMUA 191 gives comprehensive guidance on designing, managing and procuring new alarm systems and improving existing installations for plant safety, efficiency and compliance.
