[for the purposes hereof] a correctible error/defect is one which
In a contract context, you're looking to a defined term, namely, the errors which the supplier is responsible for correcting. "Correctible error/defect" is not to be confused with one which LENDS ITSELF to correction, but rather, one which supplier has to fix before the client signs off.

That's how I'd put it. There should be ample room for other options, though.

Error diagnosis and correction ...
I prefer to formulate the sentence a little differently (see below) to make it more suitable for a contract.
Error diagnosis and correction must be performed if the device operates incorrectly and the incorrect behaviour can be reproduced.

You can also replace \"error\" by \"fault\", depending on the situation. I tend to think of software errors and hardware faults.

A fault which must be corrected
.....actually needs working in as follows, for example:
"A fault the supplier must correct is deemed to be present when the device repeatedly fails to operate correctly".
"A fault the supplier must correct is deemed to be present when the device repeatedly fails to operate correctly".
