v1.0, Annex B.6, Paragraph 1814 |
Issue
The introductory text of
CEM Annex B.6 'TOE Boundary' implies that the sponsor of an evaluation
will
always be the developer of evaluation evidence. This is inconsistent
with other
parts of the CEM.
Interpretation
CEM Chapter 2 sufficiently
describes the role of the sponsor and role of the developer in
paragraph 34 as
follows:
The responsibility to
provide all the required evaluation evidence lies
with the sponsor.
However, most of the evaluation evidence is likely to be produced and
supplied
by the developer, on behalf of the sponsor.
CEM Annex
B.6 incorporated unnecessary and inconsistent references to the roles
of
sponsor and developer. These references are removed.
Specific Changes
To address this
interpretation, the following change is made to CEM v1.0, Part 2:
The
identity of what is evaluated will appear in the ETR, on the
certificate, in
the ST, and on the list of evaluated products. Although products are
typically
bought and sold, evaluations are concerned with TOEs. The following
were agreed
as the basis of definitions used in the CEM, along with their
interrelationships and effects upon evaluations and certification.
Rationale
This interpretation
removes unnecessary and inconsistent references to the roles of sponsor
and
developer.
