Check equipment before dispatch

Use a short preparation check to make the equipment handover easier to manage.

Dispatch checklist

All resources

Confirm what the firm needs

Ask which accessories, leads, probes, fittings, and displays must accompany the equipment. Confirm the delivery address, intake reference, packing instructions, and agreed work. Note any faults or limits that the service firm needs to know before it receives the instrument.

Prepare the equipment record

Keep a copy of your instrument list. Add asset and serial references where available. Record what you put in the package, including accessories. Follow the service firm’s preparation and transport instructions. Ask for guidance if the equipment needs special handling or contains hazardous material.

Arrange the return

Confirm the return contact, address, and any collection requirements. State the records you need with the returned equipment. Keep the agreed enquiry and delivery reference with your own equipment record. This guide is a planning aid. It is not a technical procedure or transport instruction.

Planning aid only. The real service firm must confirm the work, preparation, and handling instructions.
