Each Section of this marking table contains one or more Deviations (see pages 3 to 9 below). 2. Each Deviation is given a Clause reference (e.g. NCP 104/10: 7.4), a Code (e.g. E2) and a Point score (e.g. 2). 3. NSI Inspection Reports detail Deviations by Code, Clause, description of Deviation and Points. Example: E2, NCP 104/10: 7.4, Types of camera selected not suitable for the application, 2 Points 4. Points are awarded for each individual Deviation as shown in Note 3 above. However, the Maximum Points awarded in any Section are shown in the table above. Example: If two Deviations E1 (2 Points) and E2 (2 Points) are raised under Section E (Camera and lens selection criteria), a total of 2 Points (not 4 Points) are awarded against Section E.
