## Discrepancy

DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION SERVICE OF A 6-MAN LIFE RAFT, THE CYLINDER SAFETY VALVE DISK WAS INSPECTED.  AN EXTRA SAFETY DISK RO508-RA AND AN EXTRA O-RING 514-05B WERE FOUND INSTALLED ON TOP OF THE ORIGINAL O-RING AND DISK.  THESE WERE REMOVED AND THE SYSTEM RE-ASSEMBLED.  THESE EXTRA COMPONENTS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE SAFETY VALVE NOT TO FUNCTION.
