How the term is used
Zonal programs examine all visible systems and structures within an access area rather than only one component. Tasks can target security, routing, leakage, cleanliness and interaction between installations.
Where you may encounter it
Technicians use the approved task criteria and record significant findings against the correct location.
A zonal inspection does not replace specific detailed inspections required for known structure or systems.
