Portuguese term or phrase: mas que não é passível de erro

This is from a candidate report for a Brazilian job search. This person was experienced in car painting at a factory. I can't tell if this sentence is trying to say the process IS error-prone or IS NOT error prone...

"Entre janeiro e abril ele permaneceu interno na DuPont se dedicando ao projeto. É uma Tecnologia bem mais moderna, mas que não é passível de erro, pois o processo não pode ser refeito."

which tolerates no mistakes/errors

Explanation:
Pelo contexto, não deverá haver nenhum erro, pois se houver, o processo não poderá ser refeito. A redação engana, parece que quer dizer que 'erros são impossíveis de acontecer', quando na verdade quer dizer 'erros não deverão acontecer em hipótese alguma'
