AFS 2017:3 — Use and Inspection of Pressurised Equipment |
1. Purpose
This document maps every requirement in the JDS Ongoing Maintenance Program (JDS-PRO-010) back to the specific sections of AFS 2017:3 (Swedish regulation for use and inspection of pressurised equipment) that it satisfies.
JDS-PRO-010 is the authoritative working procedure. This matrix is the evidence trail that proves the procedure meets regulatory requirements. The two documents are deliberately separate: the procedure is clean and operational; this matrix is the compliance reference.
2. How to Use This Document
- During audits: Show this matrix to demonstrate that every regulatory requirement is covered
- When updating PRO-010: Check this matrix to ensure no regulatory requirement is lost
- When adapting to other countries: Create a new traceability matrix mapping to the other country’s regulation
