French term or phrase: complétée
This is in a contract to supply seamless casings. The full phrase is: "Selon la norme API 5 CT derniere edition completee par la specification ABC [company]". In this case, what would be the best translation of "completee"? modified? In addition to? Any help would be greatly appreciated--thank you in advance!

disagree  Tony M: Not in this case; it is clear that the company-specific specifications are in addition to the main standard, and I don't think this implies that they are in any way updating that standard.
