operations, replacement of critical components and re-testing of the product.
Overall maintenance shall be carried out by GCE authorised person only.
It should not be assumed that the Overall Maintenance period recommended
by GCE covers every safety procedure or practice required by local regulations
or statutory requirements, or that abnormal or unusual circumstances may not
warrant or suggest further requirements or additional procedures.
