Attachment J-1601000-13 UEM-DI Meter Group and the Direct Condition Rating.pdf

This document is an appendix containing condition rating guidance for the UEM-Di Meter Group asset management system. It provides a standardized degradation index with five likelihood categories that correlate asset condition to functional status and required maintenance interventions.

The guidance establishes a five-point scale ranging from Negligible (1) to Very Likely (5) deterioration. Assets rated as Fully Functional (categories 1-3) include items with no noticeable defects, minor deterioration with visible wear, or evident defects that do not significantly impact function and require only minor repairs. Assets rated as Function Affected (categories 4-5) include those with serious deterioration affecting functionality that requires extensive repairs or replacement, or extensive deterioration resulting in non-functional or barely functional conditions beyond repair. This rating system serves as a reference tool for assessing and documenting the physical condition of assets to determine appropriate maintenance and replacement priorities.
