How does the F35 get signed off to service by the MoD?

Can anyone enlighten me as to how LM is going to get the F35B past the MoD?

Thinking of the software problems with the Chinooks, C130 fuel tanks and the present problems that seem to be arising with the Rivet Joint(s)?

There must be some way that LM have to show that the aircraft is slightly fit for purpose, I would have thought that not being yet able to fire its main armament and not really knowing where it was, if we are to believe the quoted report make the aircraft slightly unsuitable for deployment from a carrier...
