adjustment and would be subject to reverification after adjustment. Characteristics affected by
adjustment have As Left test limits in addition to As Found test limits. Characteristics unaffected
by adjustment solely have test limits with no additional qualification.
Note
If any test fails reverification after performing an adjustment, verify that you
have met the
