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 modern 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.
