c. Submittals of information not required as a submittal, or covering work for which the submittals have been returned as "approved" or "approved as noted," will be returned without review.

d. Approval of a separate material, product, or component does not imply approval of assembly in which the item functions.

e. The work shall conform to approved submittals as approved. In the event a previously approved submittal has an error or omission, the contractor shall revise the submittal and resubmit for approval.
