Class DEE downgradation of V/E/P




Class DEE downgradation
 The Class DEE downgradation in BRO is in three type and they are as under:-
         a)         Fair Wear and Tear (FWT): A veh/ eqpt/plant which utilised fully and covered its twin life span as specified by HQ DGBR and its mechanical condition may poor for further utilisation. In same time an up gradation by repair seems uneconomical due to extensive repair involved. In such a condition that veh/eqpt/ plant should be removed from its service in a normal manner by downgradation of them as sentencing class “DEE” as fair wear and tear.  
         b)         Accident cases (un FWT): A veh/ eqpt/plant which met with a road accident, damaged by natural calamities or by anti social party in any stage of its stipulated life span or beyond life span, and it damaged beyond the scope of economical repair due to extensive repair involved. In such a condition that veh/eqpt/ plant should be removed from its service in an abnormal manner by downgradation as sentencing class “DEE” as unfair wear and tear.
      c)      Obsolete. (un FWT): The veh/ eqpt/ plants which are not in use any more, having been replaced by something newer and better or more fashionable. Its mechanical condition may be good but for repair, spares parts are not available at local market as well as at OEM. In such a condition, where utilisation of them is not possible in any cost even if it’s stipulated life span is not covered, then it should be removed from service in an abnormal manner by downgradation as sentencing class “DEE” as unfair wear and tear.                    
Procedure for class DEE downgradation
The veh/ Eqpt/plants which are covered the twin life concept (Click herefor details) (Click here for newly inducted VEPs) has been selected from utilisation report and ear marked to class DEE downgradation by HQ DGBR on request of concerned work shop on its mechanical condition. When the mechanical condition of an ear marked veh/eqpt/ plant become poor, the holding unit should be produced it on work order to work shop for class DEE downgradation as FWT case. In case the mechanical condition of any ear marked veh/eqpt/ plant is good for further utilisation then it should not be produced for class DEE downgradation even though the proposed month covered. Class DEE downgradation is purely based on mechanical condition of V/E/P and hence actual down gradation may differ from the proposed month/ year with respect to the approved plan. In this connection refer para 3 of HQ DGBR Letter No 55012/DGDGen/DGBR/87/E4 Tech dated 09 May 2014. In obsolete case, a statement of case (SOC) should be prepared and forwarded to HQ DGBR through Wksp for approval. After getting approval, work order can be produced to work shop for downgradation.
Convening order
There will be a convening order for Board Of Officers (BOO) regarding class DEE downgradation on FWT case from BRTF. Normally the BOO may be PO as OC  Wksp,  1st member, one officer  from BRTF and the 2nd member should be  one officer from the user unit. In accident case the convening order should be issued from Project HQ on each separate case after occurrence of accident.
When the veh/eqpt/plants produced on work order, the wksp will carried out a final inspection report as per IAF (EME) E-03 for vehicles and IAF (EME) E-23for eqpt and plants. BOO should be prepared the class DEE downgradation board proceedings. For accident case, the BOO will also prepared the court of inquiry proceedings along with other formalities like details of death case if any, injuries, compensations, penalty, the exact reason for accident and  it’s remedial measure to be taken for avoid such accident in future etc should be pin pointed. If match case filed in civil court, the final decision on penalty should only be taken after final order of the civil court.
Irrecoverable cases: In some accident cases the veh /eqpt impossible to remove from the accident spot due to:                    
With the accident veh/eqpt fell down in to a deep/steam river and from where removal of them is impossible due to the life of the personnel who trying to remove, may be lost.
Or the cost of removal of veh/eqpt from the accident spot is too much than the residual value of them. 
In such cases all relevant class DEE documents should be mentioned as irrecoverable especially in technical inspection report in red ink.
Available parts: In some other cases, the whole body of the veh/eqpt may not be received from the accident spot. However some available/ removable items can only be collected due to full removal/ collection is impossible. (as explained in irrecoverable cases.) In such cases the parts/ items received should only be mentioned as “available parts” in all relevant documents.    
The BOO should be prepared a manuscript copy of class DEE board proceedings in a FWT case with the following documents:-
1.
BOO in IAFD -931 with opinion of board.

2.
Log book.

3.
Calculation sheet for depreciation and auction value.
(Appendix-A)
4.
Assessed cost of serviceable items to be retrieved.
(Appendix-B) 
5.
Assessed cost of serviceable items not to be retrieved.
(Appendix-C) 
6.
Assessed cost of unserviceable /scrap items fitted in.
(Appendix-D) 
7.
Final inspection report as per IAF (EME) E 03/23.
(Appendix-E)
8.
Information as per HQ DGBR L No 16167/DGBR/ E4 Tech Dated 08 May 1974.
(Appendix-F)
9.
Maintenance certificate.
(Appendix-G)
10.
Document Certificate.
(Appendix-H)
11.
Retrieval Certificate.
(Appendix-J)
12.
CRV if any items retrieved.

13.
CRV of POL retrieved.

14.
Commander Recommendation.


The all above documents, except srl 14 to be prepared by user unit in eight sets then get signature of the BOO. Then get verification of calculation sheet from AO TF and send it to Project HQ through BRTF for technical sanction and Adm Sanction. A class DEE approval from HQ Project should be received as Technical sanction by SO I (EME) and Administrative Sanction by Chief Engineer for FWT and obsolete cases only. For all accident cases technical and Adm sanction should be issued from HQ DGBR/ BRDB as the case may be.                                   _______
