Latest Tool Certified Version Handling
Certification Validity Period, Safety Manual Provision
Regarding the above "(1) Latest Tool Certified Versions", we will continue to renew the TÜV SÜD certification registration until we obtain re-certification for the next version. For users with a valid maintenance contract, we will provide a reference workflow (safety manual) for the tool certification (qualification) performed by the user.
Provision of Bug Fix Versions
Bug fixes for "(1) Latest Tool Certified Versions" above will provide revision updates within the scope of the tool certification regarding the content related to the functional safety test described in the reference workflow. (The end of the version number will be updated.) Regarding the implementation of revision updates, we will make the decision based on the usage status of users.
Bug fixes not related to the functional safety test described in the reference workflow and feature improvements/additions will be handled by normal version updates. Since tool certification is obtained for each version, if the version number (the upper two digits excluding the x at the end) changes, it will not be subject to tool certification.
