Interpretation

  • Scoped mandatory floor means the authority and use-case scope shown must both apply.
  • Conditional mandatory use-case floor means only published in-scope use cases are mandatory.
  • Higher-assurance ceiling means valuable conformance without a demonstrated universal statutory adoption requirement.
  • A standard never creates the underlying legal purpose, confidentiality route or access entitlement.
