Yes, I agree this looks like a typo. Retained components reused for their original function don't qualify here.

I agree as well. But don't forget that in some cases those materials can qualify for MRc5.

It is my understanding that "fixed" items that are retained for their original function are not eligible for MRc3 and should be applied to MRc1.2. However, "finish" items, such as door hardware, that are retained, are eligible for MRc3. Agree?

I agree as well and feel that is probably the best way to view materials as "fixed" vs "finish" as they apply for MRc1.2 vs MRc3, respectively.
