4.4 Classification according to MESG and MIC
Replace the existing second and third paragraphs by the following:
One determination is adequate when:
Group IIA: MESG ≥ 0,9 mm, or MIC > 0,9;
Group IIB: 0,55 mm ≤ MESG < 0,9 mm, or 0,5 ≤ MIC ≤ 0,8;
Group IIC: MESG < 0,5 mm, or MIC < 0,45.
Determination of both the MESG and MIC ratio is required when:
for IIA: 0,8 ≤ MIC ≤ 0,9 need to confirm by MESG;
for IIB: 0,45 ≤ MIC ≤ 0,5 need to confirm by MESG;
for IIC: 0,5 ≤ MESG < 0,55 need to confirm by MIC;
