Scope1.1 This practice defines the physical protection and control of moveable property in storage locations.1.2 Generally, organizations should establish and main
3、tain control of moveable property through means of storage in a mannerthat will strike a balance between cost of storage and the degree of protection necessary to mitigate the risk of loss, damage, ordestruction.1.3 This practice covers moveable property as defined in Terminology E2135.1.4 This prac

16、uide for the storage of material.5. Storage Methodology5.1 An entity shall determine the appropriate cost effective level of physical location information to maintain and communicatein support of the mission of the organization.5.1.1 It includes The storage methodology should include all moveable pr
17、operty regardless of ownership or the acquisitionmethodology used to acquire the item.5.2 For high ceiling warehouse areas, maximizing the storage capacity by installing racking that allows multiple layers ofhorizontal storage should be researched for cost benefits and efficiencies.5.3 Moveable prop
18、erty in a storage/warehouse location should be identified in some method to indicate ownership. Methodsinclude labeling or marking ownership on the item(s), property bar code tagging of each item, or marking the storage bin or areaand segregating by ownership, etc. Segregation of an area or rack by
19、owner is not generally required if the moveable property itemsare individually marked thus ensuring that ownership is known or interpreted based upon the markings.5.4 Moveable property is stored in an orderly manner to preclude hazards to personnel or property. Moveable property is storedso as not t
20、o obstruct access to exits.5.5 Entities shall consider the frequency with which movable property items will need to be accessed before assigning physicallocations to that property within the warehouse/storage location. Movable property items that require frequent access shall belocated in easily acc
21、essible areas in order to minimize the time spent storing/retrieving items.5.5.1 Long term storage can be facilitated by having the property records indicate “stand-by” or “idle” or something similar.5.5.2 Items which require recurring maintenance or calibration should be marked in the property reco
22、rds and personnel shouldensure the maintenance is conducted on these items while in storage.5.6 An identification marking/naming convention should be deployed to mark the locations of bins, racks, or areas inside thestorage areas or buildings. It is recommended that the property records be updated t
23、o reflect these detailed locations. This is helpfulfor quick location during retrieval for use or inventory exercises.5.7 An inventory management system should be deployed to track incoming and outgoing assets, and track storage locationsas they occur. Such a system also will enable the entity to de
24、velop and manage performance metrics and optimal asset quantitybased on demand.5.8 Appropriate handling equipment must be utilized for the storage and movement of assets to prevent damage to the assets,the facility, and personnel.6. Usage Protection and Preservation6.1 The entities shall provide for
25、:6.1.1 Safeguarding and protecting moveable property against, fire, deterioration, effects of weather or contamination, and allother preventable environmental effects, regardless of the type of storage used, either exposed or covered. The moveable property,when required, shall be suitably prepared a
26、nd packaged against elements that cause damage or deterioration or both.deterioration,or both, while in storage (or when it leaves the storage area). Coating, tarp or stretch wrapping, or boxing are among standardmethods. Many items may not require such action if deemed to not deteriorate in the sto
27、rage facility identified by the appropriatelytrained personnel.6.1.2 Protecting exposed metal surfaces against oxidation.6.1.3 Protecting electrical connectors against damage, as required.6.1.4 Efficient and effective utilization of storage space.6.2 HousekeepingAll storage areas, either covered or
28、exposed, are to be kept in a clean, neat, and orderly condition at alltimes. Special care shall be taken to identify and eliminate fire hazards, pallet overhang, and other practices that could be lead topersonal injury or property damage or both.6.3 Protection from Theft or Pilferage:6.3.1 The desig
29、nated storerooms, storage areas, and warehouses shall be limited in access to only authorized personnel,adequately enclosed, and properly secured or locked when not in use.6.3.1.1 Sensitive items should receive special attention, and be more securely stored and controlled to preclude pilferage andth
30、eft.6.3.2 Sensitive items should receive special attention, and be more securely stored and controlled to preclude pilferage and theft.6.4 Fire ProtectionProper safeguards shall be in place to be consistent with site locations and the type of moveable propertybeing stored. These safeguard(s) include
31、 adequate, accessible, and readily available fire-fighting equipment, fire extinguishers,sprinkler systems, and alarms. Personnel should be trained in the use of basic fire-fighting equipment located within their workarea. Local municipality code should be researched and followed.E2715 1726.5 Protec
32、tion from Flood or Water DamageAll storage or warehouse areas shall meet minimum requirements to ensure thatthey are structurally sound and capable of withstanding the local area common climate elements. This protection also requires thatmoveable property not be stored directly on the ground or floo
33、r but on pallets or within bins. bins to assure some level of watermay flow underneath without touching the stored items themselves. Items specifically designed to come in direct contact with thefloor such as those items with wheels, casters, mounts, and so forth will not require additional protecti

36、ocumentation as well as requested or reissuedmoveable property. Records shall be maintained in a property locator system.6.8.1.2 Documentation should be clear and accurate for audit trail purposes.6.8.1.3 The physical location record should meet Practice E2499.6.8.1.4 Control of moveable property sh

38、 in order to perform their function. Asset movement transactions must follow entity internal control procedures. Alltransactions affecting the holdings of the entity within the storage facility must be recorded and documented.6.8.1.7 Control of high-risk property shall meet all federal, state, and l
