Submariner pressure test question

[NYC6]

We have a trip planned to Cabo coming up and plan on diving and the wife and I were in the mall today where I bought the 14060 and figured I should get it tested while we were there. They said sure but it took a little while to do and about 20 min later the guy came out a said it passed the test. I didn't have my glasses and we were running late so I said thanks took the printout and left. Got home and I really don't know what it all means. I'm a bit confused why the test pressure says 3 bar for a watch rated at 1,000 feet? Here's the complete numbers on the paper if someone could help me out with what it all means I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Test pressure 0.5 bar
Maximum deformation +0002.7u
Tightness value +9.9% /min
Test one OK

Test pressure 3.0 bar
Maximum deformation +0011.4u
Tightness value +9.2% /min
Test two OK

I'm not an expert but it looks like it was only tested to 3 bar. I would guess he didn't have the equipment to test higher.
Last time I had mine tested at a Rolex AD they could only test my sub to 300 ft. I was ok with that and didn't want to send to RSC.

At least you are ok to 30 meters.

Most watches that fail a pressures test will fail at the 3 bar test or much less but if you are doing some serious diving over a week or so then I would have it tested to the Rolex spec.
When was the last service?

It hasn't been serviced yet and bought it 7 years ago. I know it's due and will bring it to Rolex NYC service this fall. I know we're going to do a whale shark snorkel trip and I'd like to get a couple Scuba dives in. To be safe I'll keep them on the shallower side. Thanks guys.

Anyone know what deformation and tightness value are? I haven't a clue.
