Final Criticality Category: 3

Category 1 Highest category, associated with potentially high operational risk.
Warrants the most stringent design and fabrication requirements.
Category 2 Medium category, associated with potentially moderate operational risk. Warrants some special design and fabrication requirements.

Category 3 Lowest category, associated with reduced operational risk.

Standard design and fabrication requirements are sufficient.
