If an MSR item is overdue, what must be done?

• A. Removed from service until required inspection is completed
• B. Proceed with inspection in parallel
• C. Extend the due date
• D. Retire the item from inventory

Answer: (A)

An MSR item that is overdue must be removed from service until the required inspection is completed. If the inspection due date has passed without performing the inspection, the item’s condition is not verified and could affect safety, so it cannot remain in operation. By removing it from service, you prevent possible unsafe use and ensure the maintenance team can perform the necessary inspection and document the result. Once the inspection is completed and found compliant, the item can be returned to service with the proper records. Extending the due date, performing the inspection in parallel while overdue, or retiring the item from inventory are not appropriate responses to an overdue MSR.
