|---|---|
| At arm's length, about 45 cm (18 in) | Nothing you can see on the body or the screen. |

| Screen, tilted under light | At most two faint marks seen only at an angle. |

The counts are provisional in the public comment draft and open for comment with inspection data. Records carry tolerance_table: "phone-1.0-provisional"; raw defects are stored, so grades recompute without re-inspection. On a tablet, every count is × 1.5, rounded down. §5.5
A Like New device with zero defects on the display and camera lenses has cosmetic value A0. A0 is one of the three conditions for Premium. §5.3

Maps to
| System | Like New maps to | Note |
|---|---|---|
| CTIA v5.1 cosmetic | A | UGP A allows up to two S1 marks on zone AA. CTIA A allows none, so a UGP A unit can map to CTIA B, and Premium (A0) maps to CTIA A. |
| CTIA v5.1 primary | A+ (AA when an RF-shielded test passes) | The primary grade assumes CTIA functional class 1, battery type 1 and customer and enterprise locks clear, all of which every UGP grade guarantees. |
| CTIA v5.1 consumer tier | Tier 2 (Premium → Tier 1) | |
| R2 REC | C6 / F5 | |
