In the blue box below 2013's R08, it says "Examples of items that will violate R08 include (but are not limited to)...Hydraulic fluids or hydraulic components".
I read that blue box as constraining the interpretation of R08 to specifically treat all of those things as if they are inherently unsafe (etc.), irrespective of the observed level of safety of a given mechanism at a given time.
FIRST *is* about winning, and it has made many of us winners... I am glad to be a part of it. - Andy Baker [more]
