tested to satisfy the appropriate environmental category for the equipment’s intended installation location where known.
Additionally, the life cycle activities for the development of the systems software are to be examined to satisfy the requirements of
Ch 1, 31 Examination of software for type approval of products that include programmable electronic systems.
