(My bold.)"That language is fully compliant with the ... requirement to prove 30 minutes of flight after detection of an oil leak," he said."(representative of SK)

The European regulators said the test showed a loss of oil would mean the helicopter could only stay in the air for "around 10 minutes," a finding Sikorsky does not dispute.
Sikorsky documents used to market the aircraft, dated August 2003, said the gearboxes of the S-92A have a "30-minute drive system after oil leak."
So the language complies !!! We are all right then
Semantics used to justify failings, with both manufacturers & regulator \ certification process.
I tend to agree with crab
