The object (i. e. the product) to be assessed must be assessed according to the applicable Assessment Specification. Should the product be a System, a Segment, a SW Unit/HW Unit, a SW Component, a SW Module, or a Database, the applicable Assessment Procedure must be adhered to.

The Assessment Report has to be generated during the assessment with regard to the contents. The result of every test case (also in case of errors) must be documented therein in a comprehensible way; it is also necessary to generate an overall judgment.

After a successful assessment the state of the assessed product is changed from "submitted" to "accepted"; if the assessment was not successful the state is changed from "submitted" back to "b. proc.".

Notes:

(1) Method SIMU is to be applied if reliability requirements are high nd the use conditions are so complex that static investigations with regard to feasibility and resource requirements are not sufficient.

(2) Method SIMU is to be applied if the test cannot completely handle the performance and error proof since - among other things - special limitations, assumptions, and environmental conditions have to be taken into consideration.

(3) Method STAT is to be applied if contents of the object to be assessed are structured according to a standard formalism.

(4) Method T is to be applied if contents of the object to be assessed are structured according to a specified formalism allowing a dynamic execution.

(5) Method T is to be applied if automated assessment procedures are to be used.
