Most of the column titles are self-explanatory.

In this worksheet the inspector should fill in the following columns:

| Column name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Survey date | Date of the inspection |
| Inspector | Inspector's name |
| Potential OFF [mV] / Potential ON [mV] | The Potential off and Potential on reading if present. |
| CP testposting missing / damaged | The options are: NO YES, FIXED YES, NOT FIXED |
| Other issues found in CP test post survey | The options are: YES NO |

The pipeline engineer who will import the data should:

- Fill in the column "Condition date" which is the ECH inspection date. This should be one and the same date for a pipeline.
- Review comments in the columns "CP testposting missing / damaged", "Other issues found in CP test post survey" and "ECH Narrative". Results from columns "CP testposting missing / damaged" and "ECH Narrative" will be stored in the Conditions found code in the ECH for the corresponding schedule.
- Review the columns "Availability", and "(An)Aerobic".
