- Grade B (Good): Operational with minor wear, requires minor repairs or maintenance, generally compliant but may require certification updates.
- Grade C (Fair): Requires significant repairs or refurbishment, cosmetic damage present, may not be immediately operational, non-compliant equipment requiring upgrades.
