Do not post a question without noting where the sentence is from - code / standard / project spec ?????
 
I would read this as meaning that if there is a defect, but it doesn't affect the pressure containing elements, then you don't need to do another test.

One line is very easy to misunderstand and it is not clear what these "tests" are? Only hydrostatic or are there other tests.
