Three of these categories mean that the item can still pass, while the remaining two are an instant fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pass Categories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pass &#8211; The item meets the minimum legal standard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advisory &#8211; The issue could become more serious in the future.
