What must be done to adjust external components according to regulations?

Adjusting external components according to regulations typically involves sealing them to prevent tampering. This is essential for maintaining safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Sealing these components helps ensure that they remain in their intended state, thereby preventing unauthorized access or modifications that could compromise safety or operational effectiveness. Proper sealing creates accountability and assurance that the equipment operates as designed, adhering to safety protocols.

In contrast, replacing components immediately may not always be necessary or practical unless there is conclusive evidence of failure or damage. Leaving components as is or assuming they require no special handling could lead to regulatory non-compliance or safety risks, as these components may need to be monitored or maintained to function correctly. Thus, sealing is the most effective strategy to uphold standards and regulations associated with external components.
