I agree with the conclusion that a claim of conformance includes a claim that equivalents are valid. I think that in fact there is only ever a claim for this - there is no test by which it can be absolutely determined that a given "candidate equivalent" in Eric's terminology is in fact valid, just an assertion that it is sufficient.

It does not imply that any specific techniques (e.g., Appendix A - Validation) have actually been followed. Of course, use of the techniques may make the claim more easily defensible. ============================= Eric G.
