• Safety Impact

This is a compound decision point, therefore it is a notational convenience.

Suppliers necessarily have a rather coarse-grained perspective on the broadly defined Safety Impact Decision Point. Therefore we simplify the above into a binary categorization:

• Significant is when any impact meets the criteria for an impact of Marginal, Critical, or Catastrophic in the Safety Impact table.
• Minimal is when none do.
