I think that the FAA rules governing this state that a re-test is required if the results are not within a few percentage points of the original test parameters (and they were not)
There have been instances where engineers were able to produce dynamic computer modeling data which precludes the need for another busted wing.
If a re-test is requested - it would not be un-precendented and considering the general Airbus engineering philosophy* , a re-test may be prudent.
Not sure where the EASA stands on this safety certification test/re-test.
* Not a knock - I am referring to the judicious usage of aircraft structure with the focus on structural design efficiency - hallmarks of any current Airbus product.
Did anyone see the LHR arrival - ????
