I fly A330 In Asia and for ETOPS Altn we also need RFFS 4, whereas for normal ops it is RFFS 8.

Don't know the rationale behind this, but I guess it's a matter of practicality. In some remote areas of the world there's just no airports with higher category and keeping them equipped to CAT8/9 would just probably cost too much
