USAGE:
Used for revising prices, rates, standards, and regulations. Distinguished from the homophone 改訂(かいてい), which refers to revising written texts and documents. A helpful mnemonic: 改定(かいてい) uses 定(てい) (to fix/establish), so it concerns fixed values like prices; 改訂(かいてい) uses 訂(てい) (to correct text), so it concerns written documents.
