The control clearance i
s less than 3mm at the control’s point of overlap when tested as detailed
in Inspection B. Note that this clearance limit only applies to controls which are configured such
that they actually have a point of overlap.
-
The control clearance changes by 5mm or more when the test load of Inspection B is applied.
This is irrespective of if the control has a point of overlap or not.
Carry on to Inspection C in all cases.
