I think you'll find that any Airbus design will be certificated to civil standards, although when operating under 'miitary conditions', military certification will apply.

The definition of 'military conditions' will be something for various folk to exercise their minds over, however. But, for example, if flying passengers from A to B (outside a high threat area), there is no reason whatsoever why a military operated transport aircraft should not be required to meet civil certification standards.

Which might also include the nonsense of fitting an armoured flight deck door.....
