What happens if a 1C survey card is not corrected by the specified time?

If a 1C survey card is not corrected by the specified time, certification may be suspended. This means that the Diver Life Support System (DLSS) could fall out of compliance with safety and operational standards, leading to potential risks in diver safety and equipment performance. The certification process is critical for ensuring that all systems meet required benchmarks, and failure to address discrepancies in a timely manner can lead to serious consequences, such as a suspension of the ability to operate that equipment until the necessary corrections are completed.

While the other options suggest various responses to non-compliance, they do not accurately reflect the immediate consequence of failing to correct a 1C survey card. The focus on certification emphasizes the importance of adhering to established protocols to maintain diver safety and operational integrity.
