RD 614
RD 614/2001 and multiple other royal decrees govern electrical, mechanical and pressure equipment work. Maintenance Directors must comply with all simultaneously.
When a critical pump fails on the night shift, the maintenance technician needs the OEM bearing replacement procedure in minutes, not hours. When an ATEX zone inspection is due, the Maintenance Director needs the exact legal reference without manual searching. IgeraIndustria puts all of this at their fingertips in natural language.
Instant query across all maintenance documentation
IgeraIndustria searches simultaneously across OEM manuals, LOTO procedures, inspection reports, maintenance history and applicable legislation — and returns the exact citation with the technical value or legal reference.
OEM technical specifications by equipment and component
Ask in natural language — “What is the bearing clearance for the No. 2 centrifugal pump?” — and IgeraIndustria retrieves the exact specification from the OEM manual with page reference, applicable model revision and any maintenance service bulletins that modify the original specification.
LOTO procedures by machine and energy type
For each piece of equipment, IgeraIndustria retrieves the specific LOTO procedure: energy sources to isolate (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic), isolation sequence, lock placement points, verification test before work begins, and re-energisation sequence. Cites your internal POE-MANT and RD 614/2001.
Statutory inspection calendar and legal obligations
Which regulatory inspections are legally required for each equipment type, what the inspection frequency is, which type of authorised inspection body (OCA, OIT) must perform it, and what documented evidence must be retained. Covers pressure vessels (RD 769/1999), electrical installations (RD 614/2001, RD 1053/2014) and HVAC (RD 1027/2007).
Root cause analysis methodology selection
For each type of equipment failure, IgeraIndustria helps select the most appropriate RCA methodology (5 Whys, Ishikawa, FMEA, 8D), guides the analysis process and generates the documented report structure required for the CMMS work order and for ISO 55001:2014 clause 10.1 audit evidence.
Predictive maintenance planning by failure mode
Which monitoring technology (vibration, thermography, oil analysis, ultrasound) is most effective for each equipment type and failure mode, what alert thresholds to configure, and how to document the predictive maintenance strategy to satisfy ISO 55001 clause 6.2 maintenance strategy objectives.

Industrial maintenance is the highest-risk activity in a plant. IgeraIndustria ensures every technician has instant access to the correct safety procedure, the applicable legal reference and the documented evidence required.
LOTO procedure by equipment and energy source
Specific lockout/tagout sequence for each machine: identification of all energy sources (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, thermal, chemical, gravitational), isolation point location, lock type, verified zero-energy state test and re-energisation procedure. IgeraIndustria cites your internal POE-MANT and RD 614/2001 simultaneously.
Electrical work authorisations (RD 614/2001)
Which electrical work requires an authorised electrician, which requires an authorised installer, what the permit-to-work must contain for high-voltage work, and what documented evidence must be retained after each electrical intervention. Covers RD 614/2001 Art. 4-7 for electrical risk qualification and Art. 8-11 for work procedures.
ATEX zone inspections and explosive atmosphere compliance
Legal inspection requirements for equipment in ATEX zones under Directive 2014/34/EU and RD 681/2003: which equipment categories are permitted in each zone, what the inspection frequency is, what an authorised inspector must verify and what documented evidence satisfies the legal obligation.
Confined space entry permits and procedures
Confined space entry requirements under RD 486/1997 and NTP 223: atmospheric testing protocol, ventilation requirements, standby person obligations, rescue equipment, permit format and the Maintenance Director's specific obligations when authorising confined space work. Cites ISO 45001:2018 clause 8.1.3.
Hot work permits in hazardous areas
Hot work permit requirements for welding, cutting and grinding in or near hazardous areas: fire watch obligations, fire protection measures, atmospheric monitoring, permit validity period and post-work inspection. Cross-referenced with your internal permit-to-work system and ISO 45001 clause 8.1.
Contractor safety management during maintenance
Legal obligations when external maintenance contractors work in your plant under RD 171/2004 (coordination of business activities): safety information exchange, contractor induction requirements, permit-to-work integration, supervision obligations and documented evidence for ISO 45001:2018 clause 8.1.4 audit.
The 4 critical domains for the Maintenance Director
These four areas generate the most time-critical queries and the highest-impact decisions for a Maintenance Director. IgeraIndustria provides exact citations and actionable guidance across all four simultaneously.
OEM technical manuals — exact specification in 3 seconds
Industrial equipment OEM manuals regularly exceed 1,000 pages. Finding the torque specification for a specific coupling, the bearing clearance for a pump model or the recommended lubricant grade for a gearbox takes an average of 18 minutes by manual search. During an unplanned breakdown, every minute of downtime has a direct cost — typically between €500 and €5,000 per hour depending on the process. IgeraIndustria indexes all OEM manuals in your documentation library and returns the exact technical value with the page reference and manual revision in under 3 seconds, regardless of which language the original OEM document is written in.
ISO 55001:2014 — asset management system compliance
ISO 55001:2014 is the international standard for asset management. Its key requirements for the Maintenance Director include: strategic asset management plan (SAMP) aligned with organisational objectives (clause 4.4), maintenance strategy defined by asset criticality and failure mode (clause 6.2), monitoring and measurement of maintenance KPIs including OEE, MTBF and MTTR (clause 9.1), and nonconformity and corrective action management for equipment failures (clause 10.1). IgeraIndustria provides clause-level guidance for each ISO 55001 requirement, identifies which internal documents satisfy which clause, and generates audit checklists for certification or surveillance visits.
Predictive maintenance — CBM strategy and technology selection
Condition-based maintenance (CBM) requires selecting the right monitoring technology for each failure mode. IgeraIndustria helps the Maintenance Director match technology to failure mode: vibration analysis for rotating equipment (bearings, imbalance, misalignment, looseness), thermography for electrical panels, motors and refractory, oil analysis for gearboxes and compressors, ultrasound for leaks and partial electrical discharges. For each equipment class it cites the applicable ISO standard (ISO 13373 for vibration, ISO 18436 for condition monitoring) and the alert threshold methodology. It also documents the CBM strategy in a format that satisfies ISO 55001 clause 6.2 for audit purposes.
Statutory inspections — legal calendar and OCA management
Industrial plants in Spain must comply with multiple inspection obligations across different regulatory frameworks, each with different inspection bodies (OCA, OIT) and frequencies. The Maintenance Director is typically responsible for maintaining this compliance. IgeraIndustria maintains the inspection obligation register by equipment type, cites the specific royal decree article for each obligation, identifies the required inspection body type, tracks overdue inspections and generates the compliance report required for ISO 45001 audits. This covers pressure equipment (RD 769/1999), electrical installations (RD 614/2001, RD 1053/2014), HVAC (RD 1027/2007), lifting equipment (RD 837/2003) and storage tanks (ITC MI-IP 03).
How IgeraIndustria works for Maintenance Directors
Five steps from loading your maintenance documentation to receiving the exact OEM specification, LOTO procedure or legal inspection reference in under 3 seconds.
Index your complete maintenance documentation library
Upload OEM technical manuals, LOTO procedures, inspection reports, maintenance procedures (POE-MANT), CMMS work order history and equipment datasheets. IgeraIndustria processes them alongside applicable legislation (RD 614/2001, RD 769/1999, RD 1027/2007) within 24 hours.
Connect to your maintenance team tools
Embed in your maintenance portal, CMMS help interface, Teams or as a mobile-accessible tool for field technicians. One line of code. Compatible with SAP PM, Maximo, Infor EAM, eMaint and any CMMS that can reference external documentation.
Technicians and managers query in natural language
“What is the LOTO procedure for the No. 3 cooling water pump?”, “When is the next mandatory OCA inspection for boiler CV-02?”, “What bearing clearance does the OEM specify for the compressor coupling?”
IgeraIndustria searches across 3 layers of knowledge
First in your indexed OEM manuals and internal maintenance procedures, then in applicable Spanish legislation (RD 614/2001, RD 769/1999, RD 1027/2007, LPRL, RD 171/2004), then in international standards (ISO 55001, ISO 13373, ISO 18436) for technical methodology queries.
Response with exact citation, document reference and page number
The response cites the specific OEM manual, revision and page; or the legal article and royal decree; or the ISO standard clause. It also flags related safety considerations (LOTO required before this work, OCA inspection due, PPE mandatory for this task) to prevent unsafe shortcuts.

Frequently asked questions — Maintenance Director
How does IgeraIndustria handle LOTO lockout/tagout procedures for different energy types?
IgeraIndustria indexes your LOTO procedures by equipment and energy type — electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, thermal, chemical and gravitational — and retrieves the specific lockout sequence for each machine or system. It cites both your internal LOTO procedure (POE-MANT or equivalent) and the applicable legal reference: RD 614/2001 for electrical energy, ISO 45001:2018 clause 8.1.3 for change management and the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 standard if your plant has international operations. For complex equipment with multiple energy sources, IgeraIndustria lists each isolation point, the responsible technician profile and the verification steps before authorising work to begin.
What is the difference between predictive and preventive maintenance, and when should each be applied?
Preventive maintenance is time-based or usage-based: it follows a fixed schedule (every 500 operating hours, every 3 months) regardless of actual equipment condition. Predictive maintenance is condition-based: it uses real-time monitoring data (vibration analysis, thermography, ultrasound, oil analysis) to intervene only when the equipment shows early signs of degradation. ISO 55001:2014 (Asset Management) recommends optimising the maintenance strategy based on criticality and failure mode. IgeraIndustria helps the Maintenance Director determine which strategy applies to each equipment class, what monitoring technology is appropriate for each failure mode, and how to document the decision rationale to satisfy ISO 55001 clause 6.2 (maintenance strategy objectives).
How should critical spare parts be managed to minimise MTTR without overstocking?
Critical spare parts management requires balancing two risks: production loss from stockout vs capital tied up in excess inventory. The Maintenance Director must classify components by: criticality (impact of failure on production and safety), lead time (time to procure if not in stock), failure probability (MTBF data from maintenance history) and cost of holding. ISO 55001:2014 clause 8.3 (outsourcing and supply chain) provides the framework. IgeraIndustria retrieves OEM recommendations for spare parts from technical manuals, cross-references your CMMS maintenance history to identify high-frequency failure components, and helps define minimum stock levels (reorder point, safety stock) for each critical item based on your actual failure data.
What statutory inspections are legally required and what must be documented?
Statutory inspections in industrial facilities are governed by multiple royal decrees depending on the equipment type. Key regulations include: RD 1027/2007 (RITE) for HVAC systems with inspections every 2-4 years by authorised OCA; RD 769/1999 (pressure equipment) for pressure vessels, boilers and pipelines with periodic tests by OCA; RD 614/2001 for high-voltage electrical installations with annual OCA inspection; RD 1053/2014 for low-voltage electrical installations every 5 years in industrial premises. IgeraIndustria maintains the inspection calendar by equipment, cites the specific RD article for each obligation, identifies the type of authorised inspection body (OCA, OIT) required, and flags overdue inspections before they become a legal liability or audit finding.
How can IgeraIndustria integrate with our existing CMMS to answer technical queries?
IgeraIndustria operates as a knowledge layer on top of your existing CMMS, not a replacement for it. The Maintenance Director uploads the indexed documentation (OEM manuals, procedures, inspection reports) to IgeraIndustria, which processes it and makes it queryable via natural language. When a maintenance technician asks “What is the torque specification for the coupling on pump P-201?”, IgeraIndustria searches the OEM technical manual and returns the exact value with the manual reference. The CMMS continues to handle work orders, scheduling and history — IgeraIndustria provides the technical knowledge that the CMMS cannot store or make searchable. Compatible with SAP PM, Maximo, Infor EAM, eMaint and any CMMS that can export PDF reports.
How does root cause analysis (RCA) work for recurring failures and how should it be documented?
Root cause analysis for recurring equipment failures follows a structured methodology to identify the underlying cause rather than treating symptoms. The most common methodologies in industrial maintenance are: 5 Whys (simple and fast for straightforward failures), Fishbone/Ishikawa (for failures with multiple contributing factors across Man, Machine, Method, Material, Environment), FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, for systematic proactive analysis of critical equipment) and 8D (for major failures requiring structured team response and supplier involvement). ISO 55001:2014 clause 10.1 requires the organisation to evaluate and correct nonconformities including equipment failures. IgeraIndustria helps select the right RCA methodology for each failure type, guides the analysis process, and generates the documented report structure required for the CMMS and for ISO 55001 audit evidence.
