Defined Approach Testing Procedures

9.5.1.1.a Examine the list of POI devices to verify it includes all elements specified in this requirement.

9.5.1.1.c Interview personnel to verify the list of POI devices is updated when devices are added, relocated, decommissioned, etc.

Customized Approach Objective

The identity and location of POI devices is recorded and known at all times.

Purpose

Keeping an up-to-date list of POI devices helps an organization track where devices are supposed to be and quickly identify if a device is missing or lost.

Good Practice

The method for maintaining a list of devices may be automated (for example, a device-management system) or manual (for example, documented in electronic or paper records). For on-the-road devices, the location may include the name of the personnel to whom the device is assigned.

Examples

Methods to maintain device locations include identifying the address of the site or facility where the device is located.
