TM55-1680-358-12&P category of maintenance based on past experience and the following considerations: (1) Skills available (2) Work time required. (3) Tools and test equipment required and/or available. b. Only the lowest category of maintenance authorized to perform a maintenance function is indicated.  If the lowest maintenance  category  cannot  perform  all  tasks  of  any  single  maintenance  function  (e.g.,  test  repair),  then  the  higher maintenance level(s) that can accomplish additional tasks will also be indicated. c. A maintenance function assigned to a maintenance category will automatically be authorized to be performed at any higher maintenance category. d. A maintenance function that cannot be performed at the assigned category of maintenance for any reason may be evacuated to the next higher maintenance category.  Higher maintenance categories will perform the maintenance functions of lower maintenance categories when required or directed by the commander that has the authority to direct such tasking. e. The assignment of a maintenance function will not be construed as authorization to carry the related repair parts or spares in stock.  Information to requisition or otherwise secure the necessary repair parts will be as specified in the associated Repair Parts and Special Tools List (RPSTL). f. Normally there will be no deviation from the assigned level of maintenance.  In cases of operational necessity, maintenance  functions  assigned  to  a  maintenance  level  may,  on  a  one-time  basis  and  at  the  request  of  the  lower maintenance  level,  be  specifically  authorized  by  the  maintenance  officer  of  the  level  of  maintenance  to  which  the function  is  assigned.    The  special  tools,  equipment,  etc.,  required  by  the  lower  level  of  maintenance  to  perform  this function  will  be  furnished  by  the  maintenance  level  to  which  the  function  is  assigned.    This  transfer  of  a  maintenance function to a lower maintenance level does not relieve the higher maintenance level of the responsibility for the function. The higher level of maintenance will provide technical supervision and inspection of the function being performed at the lower level. g. Changes to the Maintenance Allocation Chart will be based on continuing evaluation and analysis by responsible technical personnel and on reports received from field activities. B-3 Maintenance functions.  Maintenance functions will be limited to and defined as follows: a. Inspect.    To  determine  the  serviceability  of  an  item  by  comparing  its  physical,  mechanical,  and/or  electrical characteristics with established standards through examination (e.g., by sight, sound, or feel). b. Test.  To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards. B-3
