A simple comparison helps facilities teams and duty holders decide what best suits their compliance workflow, budgets, and environments (especially where corrosion is a problem).

Often mixed fleets and service histories across sites.

Consideration

Designed for long-term asset planning with scheduled checks and defined end-of-life actions.

Lifecycle varies by unit, condition, servicing and replacement cycles.
