The representative sample selected for functionally testing shall include the various configurations, operating environments and the range of size and capacity of snubbers.
At least 25% of the snubbers in the representative sampic shall include snubbers from the following three categories:

If any snubber selected for functional testing either faits to lockup or fails to move, i.e. is frozen in place, the cause will be evaluated and if due to manufacturer or design deficiency, snubbers of the same design subject to the same defect shall be functional!y. tested. This testing requirement shall be indep6ndent of the requirements stated above for snubbers not meeting the functional test acceptance criteria.
6.
For the snubber (s) found inoperab!c, an engirme-ing evaluation shall be performed on the components which are supported by the snubber (s). The pumose of this engineering evaluation shall be to determine if the components supported by the snubberle.) were adversely affected by the inopercbihty of the snu.ser(s) in order to ensure that the supported components remain capable of meeting the designed service requirements.

1.
The next visual inspection interval for the population of a snubber category shall be determined based upon the previcus inspection interval and the number of unacceptable snubbers found during that interval. Snubbers may be categorized, based upon their accesLbility during power operation, as accessible or inaccessible. These categories may be examined separately or jointly. This decision shall be made and documented before any inspection and used as the basis upon which to determine the nex1 inspection interval for that category.
2, Interpolation between population or category sizes and the number of unacceptable snubbers is permissible. The next lower integer for the value of the limit for Columns A, B, C shall be used if that integer includes a fractional value of unacceptable snubbers as determined by interpolation.
3.
If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the number in Column A, the next inspection interval may be twics the previous interval but not greater than 48 months.
4.
If the number of ur acceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the number in Column B but greater than the number in Column A. the next inspection intervai shall be the same as the previous interval.
