  1. 3.7.2[a]tools used to conduct system maintenance are controlled.
  2. 3.7.2[b]techniques used to conduct system maintenance are controlled.
  3. 3.7.2[c]mechanisms used to conduct system maintenance are controlled.
  4. 3.7.2[d]personnel used to conduct system maintenance are controlled.

Inside Valontir, this requirement carries a full plain-English guide: what it asks in normal words, what good looks like in a small shop, the evidence an assessor accepts, the common gaps that cost points, and a plain reading of every assessment objective shown above. See it in a demo.
