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
S1 is seen only at an angle; S2 is visible at any angle with no fingernail catch; DN1 is a dent of 1 mm or less; CH1 is a chip of 1 mm or less. §5.1 · §5.2
