Comment :  B. THE FRAMEWORK FOR SECURITY EVALUATION  

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS:

Application of the Guidelines and Test Specifications:
1.6.1 (National Certification Tests)
"Although some of the certification tests are based on those  
prescribed in the military standards, in most cases the test conditions are less stringent, reflecting commercial, rather than military, practice."

This provision is misleading and does not provide a clear standard that can be followed.
