Defective Apparatus (Section 81)

Key Differences from EToN

Under EToN a Defective Apparatus works is created and an Apparatus Inspection attached to it. In Street Manager there is no need to create an additional inspection for the Section 81 process to work. Confirm will therefore only send the Defective Apparatus details to Street Manager when both the Works and Inspection have been created, and import will automatically create a works and a corresponding Inspection.

If a Section 81 has been rejected and a Confirm user attempts to send it to another Promoter then Confirm will automatically create a new Section 81 in Street Manager. Similarly, Street Manager does not allow Section 81 details to be edited once submitted, but can be reassigned to another organisation.

Street Manager does not support linking to a Promoter's actual works on acceptance. On import of Accepted Fixed from Street Manager Confirm will simply update the Works Status in Confirm to closed. An extra works history entry will be added with a new Notice Type of 'Defective Apparatus Acceptance Fixed'. This new Notice Type is similar to "Defective Apparatus Acceptance" having code "202A".

Inspection Category

Street Manager introduces the concept of a Section 81 type. Confirm will populate this based on the Inspection Category selected. The following additional Inspection Categories (all configured for Apparatus inspections) will be added to support this:

Street Manager Section 81 Type New Inspection Category Code New Inspection Category Name
Tee/valve/access covers SMTV Apparatus - Tee/valve/access covers
Cabinet SMCA Apparatus - Cabinet
Marker post SMMP Apparatus - Marker post
Pole/post SMPP Apparatus - Pole/post
Overhead cables broken/low encroaching onto highway SMOC Apparatus - Overhead cables
Other (Specify) IC16 (Existing lookup)

Inspection Outcome

EToN does not have a way of transmitting "HA Actioned" as part of an Apparatus inspection. To support this, two new Inspection Outcomes will be added applicable to Defective Apparatus:

New Outcome Code New Outcome Name
O25A Failed (Higher Risk) HA Actioned
O35A Failed (Lower Risk) HA Actioned

These will use the same DfT references as the existing O20A and O30A outcomes but with the Authority Actioned checkbox checked.
