An implementation may be tested against the core
language only or the core language plus one or more Specialized Needs
Annexes. All core tests (except as noted in
5.5.4)
must be processed with acceptable results for conformity assessment of
the core language. All legacy tests, as well as all newer tests for clauses
2-13 and annexes A and B are core tests. Conformity assessment including
one or more Specialized Needs Annexes requires that all tests for the
annex(es) in question be correctly processed in addition to all core
tests.
Tests that are not applicable to an implementation
(e.g., because of size limitations) and tests that report "NOT APPLICABLE"
when run by an implementation must nevertheless be processed and demonstrate
appropriate results.
