Ask for the exact scope
Match the vessel, model, requested task, location, and intended deliverable to the relevant records. Confirm that applicable approval records cover the organization delivering the requested service.
Separate responsibilities
Ask who performs the attendance, who reviews the result, who has the applicable approval, and who issues the final document. These may be different organizations. Require the delivery route to be stated in the quotation before acceptance.
Keep evidence current and controlled
Request record references, applicable dates, limitations, and a verification route. The service desk confirms applicable approvals, individual qualifications and document-issuing arrangements for the accepted scope.
