SCOPE  \nThis SOP describes how equipment should be managed. It describes the procedures to carry out for calibration, preventive maintenance, repair and replacement of pieces of the equipment.  \nThis SOP does not cover safety procedures for using equipment; personnel shall follow BB safety guidelines and Risk-biosafety checklist (Document 2.04.011)  \nA2 . OBJECTIVES  \n> Ensure that preventive equipment maintenance and calibration procedures are carried out at regular preestablished intervals and according to manufacturer’s instructions.  \n> Ensure that equipment maintenance and calibration records are maintained and recorded in the Document Management System or BIMS.  \n> Ensure that equipment is used under optimal conditions.  \n> Ensure that repair and replacement procedures are carried out promptly.  \n> Ensure that the equipment inventory system is in place and that an equipment inventory (Document 2.02.004) is regularly maintained. The inventory documents contain relevant information required to identify, track, and locate the equipment at all times as well as information on the current operating status of the equipment.  \nA3 . ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS  \nFor this document, the following abbreviations apply.  \nBB = Biobank  \nBIMS = Biobank Information Management System  \nQR = Quality Representative  \nSBP = Swiss Biobanking Platform  \nSOP = Standard Operating Procedure  \nSee SBP Glossary for definitions.  \nThe SBP SOPs are based on Good Biobanking Practices to ensure an optimal setup for the biobanking activities.  \nAdditionally, the SBP SOPs can serve as a reference for BBs to develop site-specific Work Instructions.  \nB.
