a) Violations with less serious consequences are violations of nature, with no large impact, affecting the reputation of the working agency, organization or unit;

b) Violations with serious consequences are violations of a nature, scale, great harm, external impact, causing bad public opinion among cadres, civil servants and people, reducing the prestige of agencies, organizations and working units;

c) Violations with very serious consequences are violations of very large nature, scale, and impact, affecting the whole society, causing great public outrage among cadres, civil servants, and the People, and damaging the reputation of agencies, organizations, and work units.
