"Demonstrated Crosswind Component" is NOT a limit unless it is listed in the limitations section of the POH. Since the certification must be flown 'as an average pilot', I have heard from reliable sources that the test pilot is not supposed to make any compensation for the crosswind and just plunks it down. A test of the landing gear strength really if you think about it. With good pilot skills you should be able to handle at least up to the DCC,
