• A. CGTO PG-85-00-30-A
• B. CGTO PG-85-00-90-B
• C. CGTO PG-70-00-40-C
• D. CGTO PG-79-00-20-D

Answer: (A)

Reliability-Centered Maintenance uses a structured process to determine what maintenance tasks are needed to keep equipment safe, reliable, and available. The guide that defines this process in CGTO publications is CGTO PG-85-00-30-A. It provides the standard steps for an RCM analysis—identifying essential functions, potential failures, their effects and causes, and then selecting maintenance tasks based on risk and consequences. It also includes the required formats, responsibilities, and data needed to carry out the analysis consistently. The other CGTO publication identifiers refer to different topics, so they wouldn’t describe the RCM process.
