Proposal to insert provisions clarifying that when assessing manufacturer’s testing activities under paras. 8.3.2.1.1, 8.3.2.1.2, 8.3.2.2.2, and 8.3.2.2.3, the approval authority or designated technical service may identify situations or scenarios not included in manufacturer’s test evidence, convey that information to the manufacturer, and request additional test evidence covering those situations or scenarios under agreed upon protocols, with the assessor able to determine the need for variations to tested scenarios or conditions to verify that the manufacturer’s evidence is representative and able to support the safety case, where variations may include adjustments to initial conditions, parameter ranges, or environmental assumptions within the bounds or at the boundaries of the declared ODD but may also consider behaviour at ODD exit or outside the ODD, with such variations expected to be reasonable and compatible with the limitations and abilities of the toolchains and allow comparison with initial results provided by the manufacturer or be assessable against the expected behaviour of the system.
