S or not?

0 Hi! 02br
02br
00I'm currently updating the english part of a website for a company that makes door locks and lever handles and similar, and I have grammatic question: 02br
02br
00I can't figure out if the "s" is supposed to be at the end of "fulfill"; so..should it be: 02br
02br
00Fulfill the claims according to Swedish Standard SS 3079, class 2 02br
02br
00or.. 02br
02br
00Fulfills the claims according to Swedish Standard SS 3079, class 2 02br
02br
00? 02br
02br
00This sentence is a part of a checklist, so that's why it's not a "complete" sentence... 02br
00The sentence above is aiming at one item, and I have one theory that it should be an "s" if it aims at more than one item....is that right? 02br
02br
00Thanks //Peter 0-

0 Ok...so if some other checklist items goes like this: 02br
02br
00# A part of a lock unit approved by the Insurance association 02br
00# Fits oval single- or double cylinder 02br
00# For narrow profile latch locks 02br
02br
00...and by the way, another question about the middle sentence above, should it be "single-" or just "sing

0I'll answer the easy one first: no hyphen after 'single' because there is no hyphen after 'double'. 02br

00Now, the hard one. I don't quite understand the nature of these checklist 'items'. The list looks like this?-- 02br
02br

00# Fulfill( s ) the claims according to Swedish Standard SS 3079, class 2 02br

0 Thanks very much for your help, I think I understand how I should proceed with this now! And yes, I had the feeling that my checklist was some kind of hodge-podge but I'll try to straighten things out now! 02br

0I think that will work fine. Peter. They are not strictly parallel, but the reading is easy enough. How about 'automatically deadlocks the deadbolt'? 02br

00I know it's frustrating. Good luck with it. And don't hesitate to ask anything-- that's the reason we're all sitting 'round our keyboards, [url="05000"]WAITING[/url]. 0230hrefhttp://www.widro.com/th
