How to deal with software updates to earlier specifications? Option 2 test reports only to cover software updates B - New steering wheel C - 03 series, ACSF-B1 A - Original specification E11*79R01/05*1111*00 E11*79R01/05*1111*01 E11*79R03/03*1111*02 SU 1: Test report BBBBBB SU 1: Test report DDDDDD Current live build specification SU 2: Test report EEEEEE SU 2: Test report FFFFFF Etc Etc Problem: no approval exists for updated software; test reports may not be recognised in all markets 5
How to deal with software updates to earlier specifications? Option 3 new approval when software updated B - New steering wheel C - 03 series, ACSF-B1 A - Original specification E11*79R01/05*1111*00 E11*79R01/05*1111*01 E11*79R03/03*1111*02 SU 1: E11*79R01/05*4444*00 SU 1: E11*79R01/05*5555*00 Current live build specification SU 2: E11*79R01/05*4444*01 SU 2: E11*79R01/05*5555*01 Etc Etc New approvals are issued to earlier series of amendments as permitted by Rev.3 of 1958 agreement This option is suggested in R157 para 9.3.3.
