Proposal to revise the explanation for para. 8.3.3.1 to clarify the relationship between assessment of the manufacturer’s testing under 8.3.2 and confirmatory testing. The revision adds language specifying that during assessment, the assessor can determine the need for additional scenarios or variations and shall convey this information to the manufacturer requesting additional test evidence under agreed upon protocols. The revision changes “trustworthy” to “accurate” and specifies that confirmatory testing verifies the accuracy of the manufacturer’s testing, with the exception of real-world testing that cannot be precisely replicated.
