As a clarification, I think, like you, I expect the specs/certs to be non-ambiguous in defining the operational conditions, and functions within those conditions.
Without the specs/certs in front of me, I don't know if that non-ambiguous language extends to the range of conditions which is outside the operational conditions, as that's outside the scope. Therefore, I asked my question, as the possible ambiguity for the outside operational conditions range creates the difficulty of meeting the threshold, which I think you've set for yourself, with the wording you've used.

Trials and penalties can be at the corner .. as those specifications concern not only technical matters but also human lifes.
