What is a minor repair classified as?

A minor repair is classified as replacing packing and seals because this process involves simple maintenance tasks that can typically be performed without extensive modification to the system. Minor repairs are generally aimed at restoring equipment or systems to operational condition without needing to change significant structural components or comprehensive reconfiguration.

For instance, when packing and seals are replaced, it usually means addressing wear or leakage in existing equipment, which doesn’t involve significant disruption to the existing setup or require specialized procedures like welding or the installation of new pressure boundary parts. This classification reflects the idea that minor repairs are straightforward and often within the capabilities of routine maintenance personnel, rather than needing specialized skills for more complex procedures.
