Main point

A useful spares register identifies the exact installed component and its approved replacement. Descriptions such as standard bag or common valve are too broad to establish compatibility.

Information to record

Record equipment tag, component function, manufacturer reference, drawing revision, material specification and quantity. Add the approved alternate reference where one exists, together with the evidence supporting it. Keep storage location and issue history separate from the technical identification fields.

Review and acceptance

Review the register after equipment changes, supplier substitutions and maintenance discoveries. Link purchased stock to the current approved specification before issuing it. A clear discrepancy record helps prevent a part that looks familiar from being fitted to the wrong equipment.
