Expanded definition

New or unused property in excellent conditions. Ready for use and identical or inter-
changeable with new items delivered by manufacturer or normal source of supply.
New or unused property in good condition. Does not quite qualify for N-1 (because
slightly shopworn, soiled, or similar), but condition does impair utility.

New or unused property in fair condition. Soiled shopworn, rusted, deteriorated, or dam-
aged and its utility is slightly impaired.

New or unused property so badly soiled, rusted, mildewed, deteriorated, or damaged,
that its utility is seriously impaired.

Used property, but repaired or renovated and in excellent condition.

Used property which has been repaired or renovated and, while still in good usuable
condition, has become worn from further use and cannot qualify for excellent condi-
tion.

Used property which has been repaired or renovated but has deteriorated since recon-
ditioning and is only in fair condition. Further overhauling required or expected to be
needed in near future.

Used property which has been repaired or renovated and is in poor condition from seri-
ous deterioration such as from major wear and tear, corrosion, exposure to weather
or mildew.

Property which has been slightly or moderately used, no repairs required, and still in
excellent condition.

Used property, more worn than 0-1, but still in good condition with considerable use
left before any important repairs would be required.

Used property which is still in fair condition and usable without repairs; however, some-
what deteriorated with some parts (or portion) worn and should be replaced.

Used property which is still usable without repairs, but in poor condition and undepen-
dable or uneconomical in use. Parts badly worn and deteriorated.

Used property, still in excellent condition, but minor repairs required (repairs would not
cost more than 10 pct of acquisition cost).

Used property, in good condition but considerable repairs required. Estimated cost of
repairs would be from 11 to 25 pct of acquisition cost.

would be from 26 to 40 pct of acquisition cost.

be in doubtful condition of dependability and uneconomical to use if repaired. Esti-
mated repair costs from 41 to 65 pct of acquisition cost.

Property which because of its worn, damaged, deteriorated or incomplete condition, or
specialized nature, has no reasonable prospect of sale or use as serviceable property
without major repairs or alterations, but which has some value in excess of its scrap
value.

its basic material content.
