E = Essential Variables which must be indicated on both the WPS and recorded on the PQR. Any changes to these
variables require requalification of WPS.

S = Supplementary Essential Variables must be indicated on the WPS and recorded on the PQR when Impact Testing
is required. Changes to these variables when impact testing is performed require requalification of WPS.

N = Nonessential variables must be indicated on the WPS but when changed do not require requalification of WPS.

NOTE: WPS's are to indicate all Essential, Nonessential and Supplementary Essential variables. Do not indicate
variables which are not used as NA they are applicable and should be entered on the WPS as None or Not used
