Repairing: All unacceptable indications shall be repaired and re-examined at least with the same technique. All the radiographs relating to repairing areas shall be identified by placing a lead letter R and shall be re-evaluated in compliance with the original acceptance criteria. Subsequently repairs shall be identified by R1, R2, etc.
