True, but not all engines are equal after they have been in service so you have to assume a limitation that covers these variations.
It's not just the engine itself (e.g. EGT limits). The airframer needs to certify that all the components will operate within their respective temperature limits at the aircraft certified temperature limits. Many of the on-engine accessories are right at their max temp limit when operating at very high ambient temperatures.
