Whether it needs remedial attention
If the assessor locates a fault with any equipment, they will inform you of their findings and make recommendations on how to repair these faults if possible or if the items need to be removed from service.

If it needs to be removed from service
In the event that a piece of equipment is irreparably damaged or not fit for purpose, your assessor will recommend that you dispose of it appropriately.
