(a) A food establishment
will be debited the point value assigned to the inspection item listed in WAC

for each violation found during an inspection.
(b) The sum of the points debited for an
inspection are subtracted from the maximum point value of one hundred. The
remaining sum is the establishment's score for that inspection.
(c) When the department on a food
establishment inspection identifies a critical violation, no score will be
listed unless the critical violation is satisfactorily corrected during the
inspection.
(2) An establishment is considered in substantial compliance with the inspection criteria if:
* No critical violations are found, or if critical violations are found and corrected prior to completion of the inspection; and
* The establishment's inspection score is ninety points or above.
