* Classification: C = Critical; M = Major; O = Other/Minor

Critical. A defect is determined when it affects the safety of personnel or damage to equipment. Such a defect is serious enough to warrant an immediate change to the manual to prevent injury to personnel or damage to equipment and is reported to the proponent command for concurrence or comments.

Major. A defect causing lost time to DAEP user or affecting materiel readiness, but not classified as critical. Because of inadequate or inaccurate information, this type of defect may prevent the user from performing the particular test or repair function, or it may cause the user considerable loss of time or difficulty in performing a particular function.

LCU 2000 Page 3

Other. A defect that prevents the user from identifying, locating, or requisitioning repair parts or special tools required to accomplish a maintenance function, and therefore causes a considerable loss of time performing the function.

A major defect may require an expedited print request. In all cases, major defects must be corrected in a publication change submitted to APD for printing within 120 days of notification or identification of need for change.
