    Main Results:

    • Three distinct PM procedure types (general, generic, specific) are described and contrasted.
    • A framework for developing PM procedures is provided.
    • The need for national guidelines for PM procedure development is highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardization of PM procedures is crucial for effective clinical engineering.
    • Developing in-house PM procedures requires careful consideration of equipment and departmental needs.
    • A national guideline would enhance consistency and quality in hospital-based equipment maintenance programs.
