Legacy Equipment Assessment
Equipment outlives the regulations it was designed under.
Defence platforms often run service lives measured in decades. Equipment specified and procured years ago can now sit awkwardly against current REACH, RoHS, DSEAR or Ministry of Defence policy requirements, particularly where a substance embedded in a legacy sub-system has since been restricted or become a Substance of Very High Concern.
The challenge is sharpest for long-lead items, where redesign or re-sourcing decisions taken now have to anticipate where regulation is heading, not just where it stands today.
A clear, current position on equipment already in service.
We assess legacy equipment against today’s regulatory and policy landscape, not the standards it was originally designed to.
Risk-based decisions for equipment already in service.
Not every legacy compliance gap needs the same response. We help you separate what needs action now from what can be monitored, so long-lead procurement and redesign decisions are made on the right evidence.
